Bringing Big Bang Alternatives into the Mainstream Arena
 
A long, and growing, list of practicing astronomers, physicists and cosmologists have this week published an open letter in the weekly science news magazine New Scientist, urging the establishment to recognise the validity of ongoing research into big bang alternatives.
 
The letter is critical of the way in which the mainstream scientific community refuses to allow genuine debate into the very real and serious problems existing within the popular big bang model of the orgins of the universe.
 
The authors write;
 
questions and alternatives [to the big bang] cannot even now be freely discussed and examined. An open exchange of ideas is lacking in most mainstream         conferences. Whereas Richard Feynman could say that "science is the culture of doubt", in cosmology today doubt and dissent are not tolerated, and young scientists learn to remain silent if they have something negative to say about the standard big bang model. Those who doubt the big bang fear that saying so will cost them their funding.
 
The letter has been signed by scientists such as American astronomers Dr. Halton Arp from the Max Plank Institute for Astrophysics in Munich, Hermann Bondi from Cambridge University in the UK and Thomas Gold from Cornell University in the US.
 
The letter is further evidence that the big bang is not the "be all and end all" in terms of cosmological models.  Furthermore it highlights the very real problems associated with positions of Biblical compromise, such as those of the Progressive Creation movement, that rely on the shaky cosmological foundation of the big bang model, not the obvious and straightforward understanding of the Genesis creation account, in trying to explain the origins of the universe.
