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.
First they did not predict its temperature. They first said 5K then later said as high as 50K. Wow great prediction... And your picture of a galaxy does not prove BBT either.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
