67. Science is strong BECAUSE of disagreement.
Science welcomes disagreement. Only by challenging current ideas do we refine and improve our knowledge. That's why "goddidit" is such a horrible "answer" - it doesn't add anything, tell us anything, or bring us any closer to understanding anything.

You want to disagree with current Big Bang cosmology? Go right ahead! If you feel like it, write up a paper stating your theory. Cite evidence you've found, or mathematics you've derived, that supports it. You could very well overturn the big bang theory, if your theory fits the data better. That's how science works.
