Remembering that the BBT has made testable predictions that proved correct.
First, saying that everything was once together is not explaining why it's expanding. That we don't know. We don't know why it's expanding but we know it is just like we don't know why matter has gravity but we know it does. Second what predictions? That hydrogen is the most abundant element? Sorry, we knew that before the BBT.
I'm sure I pointed out earlier that relativity predicted the expansion of the universe but never mind.
And I'm sure I pointed that the BBT predicted not just the CMB but it's actual temperature. But never mind that either.
I'll ask again, Do you have an alternative explanation to the BBT that makes falsifiable predictions?
And do you have a refutation to this?
My original evidence against a young universe.
