So the issue is whether there is a prima facie case for accepting the big bang theory. I think the questions I posed go to the heart of that issue.
Here's what I wrote in an earlier post (extract):

"Why is physics a science? So, this discussion is, fundamentally, about what 'science' is (in the last century or three)?"

It seems, rcglinsk, that you are asking about the extent to which certain forms of logic are applicable, or used (or both), in modern science or not.

Is that so?
