Yes, a very simple one.

If you look at any video or old film of an explosion, you’ll see the outer most particles moving faster than the innermost particles.
OK, but if that's the case, then the earth would be positioned right at the center of the big bang, since this Hubble law phenomenon is happening no matter which way we look. Why should our dinky little planet be at the center of everything? Considering the number of other stars and galaxies, the theory folds under the weight of its own coincidence.
