models of reality & death
PS... I am being partisan on this one because the anti-BB people are as deceitful as Creationists and as ill-informed.
I agree. I'm glad to see the BB challenged because valid models of reality thrive and grow stronger upon challenge, but there's a time and place (usually the overdue death of a prior generation of scientists) when a hypothethis should be abandoned.
Remember this people, that sometimes scientists can be irrational and ideological. They are human beings.
