There are a few things that don't sit right with me, the Big Bang, for one thing. I mean, the whole universe packed into the size of a grapefruit. Does that sound right? And then, well, there has just been an explosion in a 'nearby' galaxy and the light of it has taken 2.4 billion light years to reach us! Well, ok..........BUT light travels in a straight line, and they say that there is dark matter (90% of what there is). Now 2.4 billion years is a fair distance, and I find it hard to believe that there is nothing along that line of the light's travel to block it. Is there really a clear run for so long? Is there really nothing along the way to interfere with the electromagnetic waves?
To not be too heavy with this stuff, to keep a bit of levity, I heard a joke the other night: A tramp goes into a hardware shop and asks for a bottle of meths. The shop keeper says, 'I'm sorry, I can't sell it you because you'd just go straight out there and drink it, I can't be a part of that, I'm sorry'. The tramp says, 'No, I'm stripping a pine door with it'. The shopkeeper replies, 'No you are not, you want it to drink it, I'm sorry, I can't do that'. Tramp says, 'No, seriously, it's for the door'. Shopkeeper says, 'Well, go on then, as long as you are not going to drink it, then I will sell you a bottle'. Tramp says, 'Have you got any chilled?'.
Also, often the Moon just seems too bright, to say it is not emitting light, just reflecting it, it is like a spotlight. So does Venus. To reflect as brilliant as that it would have to be a mirror. It just doesn't feel right.
I listen to cosmologists and they mention the Big Bang, the so-called start, and they take it back to a millionth of a second AFTER the Big Bang. That misses out completely about the Big Bang. If anyone knows of an explanation about the Big Bang, I would be grateful to be pointed in that direction. They mention it and move very swiftly on before you have time to ask about it.
