Astronomical Evidence (continued)

The Big Bang as it is understood today is an inadequate theory since there are many fundamental problems that are seldom mentioned in the pertinent literature.
     1. Missing Origin The Big Bang theory assumes an original concentration of energy. Where did this energy come from? Astronomers sometimes speak of origin from a 'quantum mechanical fluctuation within a vacuum'. However, an energy source is still needed. Actually there is no secular origin theory, since every idea is based on pre-existing matter or energy.
     2. Missing Fuse What ignited the Big Bang? The mass
concentration proposed in this theory would remain forever as a universal black hole. Gravity would prevent it expanding outward.
     
3. Missing Star Formation No natural way has been found to explain the formation of planets, stars and galaxies. An explosion should produce, at best, an outward spray of gas and radiation. This gas should continue expanding, not form intricate planets, stars and entire galaxies.

Astronomical Problems
"Supernovae are exploding stars …. Initially, supernovae are extremely bright, equal to the power of 100 billion stars, but they slowly fade, and eventually would merge completely into the background of other stars. One famous supernova - we now see it as the Crab Nebula - was observed by the Chinese in 1054 A.D. In our own Milky Way galaxy, supernovae occur once every 25 years on average.
Canadian astronomer
Keith Davies decided to investigate the number of supernovae remnants (SNRs) in our galaxy to find out what they told us about the age of the universe. He extracted the relevant data from scientific journals and official records, then calculated how many SNRs should be observable according to the evolutionary, old universe model …. He found that with the old universe model, the expected number of observable SNRs in our galaxy is about 7290. However, if the universe were only 7,000 years old, the expected number is 270. Davies found that the actual number detected was a mere 205! He also discovered that some scientists had been aware of this discrepancy for years, and had expressed concern about the 'missing' SNRs. e.g. Dr. D. Cox: 'The observations have caused considerable surprise and loss of confidence.' The Natural Research Council Astronomy Survey Committee: 'Major questions about these objects that should be addressed in the coming decade are: Where have all the remnants gone?'
   Keith Davies commented, "The number of SNRs observable in the galaxy is consistent with the number expected to be formed in a universe that is 7,000 years old."
