The problems of big bang theory. What are they?

The way you are cut-n-pasting quotes makes it look as if you are debating yourself or an alternate personality, its confusing because you are not separating your previous responses from their replies.

I am the last person to answer that question. I only have the most basic understanding of "string theory". Maybe Cavediver will see this and be better able to answer.AbE

Hi Dr W, Not a clue.Let me say welcome to EvC, lot of good people here.I am sure one of the more knowledgeable members might know if there is any comparison. I have found that weekends are hit/miss as far as some members go. Be patient and I am SURE you will get more than an earful of opinions on anything you have to say or wonder about.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. I think if there was a God, then this planet is his version of reality TV, complete with many different interpretations of himself, just to keep things interesting mind you. If we all believed the same things then there would be a whole lot less killing and fighting, now that would be just boring to sit back and watch.
