Damn boy, how the hell do you remember to breath? Are you really so stupid you think no better understanding has been understood since 1983? That is back when I was an undergrad, lots has changed in my life (mosly older, fatter and uglier) and lots of thing in science are much better understood now. For example, the dreck you cite as scientific truth claims the universe (as was understood in 1983) was 16.5 billion years ago. That value is reduced but derived from the Hubble constant (which itself gives a 20 billion year value). Data (from WIMP) now conclusively shows that the 16.5 billion year value is in error by almost 3 billion years. The currently accepted value (accepted since 2003 although you think 1983 is gospel truth) is 13.72 Billion years. Please pay attention to the EXTRA significant digit. This is what real science tells us not what some goatherder book says.

Quote: What is your view then?Meaning what "banged"? Best as can be said is that the big bang arose out of quantum fluctuations. As I said before (which you apparently didn't read) - NOTHING IS UNSTABLE.
If you think that last statement is wrong. Show why?
