This completely fails to address the fact that every observation shows the universe to be expanding. ie. bodies in space are moving away from each other, which was the basis for rejecting the steady state model of the universe. Is the Big Bang theory perfect? No. But the steady state model has pretty much been shown to be false which leaves us only with an expanding universe model. Get over it.
Mythrl, whom I assume to be an astrophysicist based on his superior knowledge of the universe, has debunked one of thirty problems with the big bang, therefore, he asks that we be good scientists and ignore the other problems as well.
I never said to ignore any problems. The underlying point of the article is not to point out problems with the Big Bang theory, but to infer that these problems mean that a static model of the universe is in fact superior.The Big Bang theory was proposed in response to the discovery that the universe is expanding (an observation which falsified the static universe model). This does not mean that the Big Bang theory is either perfect or correct, but it does not change the fact that the static model is dead.
