On Monday I discussed a recent discovery that boosts confidence in the big bang theory. Numerous tests of increasingly detailed aspects continue to affirm the model and, thus, give scientists a good reason for assurance in the validity of big bang cosmology. This previous TNRTB discusses confidence-boosting discoveries from the past 20 years and shows why prominent young-earth creationists’ arguments against big bang cosmology don’t really hold water. In an ironic twist, the particular issues young-earth creationists pegged 20 years ago as problems for big bang cosmology now provide some of the strongest support for it.
