Comparison of Evidence vs. Theories
Table 22 compares the big bang and stretching explanations in 33 different ways. Neither explanation is scientific in the sense that it can be repeated or observed. However, the scientific evidence overwhelmingly favors the stretching theory. Many additional problems with the big bang theory are explained at “Big Bang?”
on page 36.
