3) the CMB: thermalisation of early stars (for the BB spectrum); the angular power spectrum is not explained
4) primordial abundance of light nuclides: should be soley H; existence of primordial D, 3He and 4He is not explained
5) large-scale structure: same as LCDM models (gravity dominated hierarchical structure formation), except that there is no CDM (so the details of the large-scale structure are not explained).
Oh, and there are no numbers, so no quantitative matching is possible.
What did I get wrong?

I have addressed two of these points in the past so that may help me a little in responding to this question.
Unfortunately I won’t be able to jot off an answer off the top of my head because several of these “observations” I am unfamiliar with. That means it will take some time and time is a commodity in ATM.
PM me or email me if there are any comments in the interim. If anyone would like to assist me in developing a response they could explain the issue for some or all of the observations and email me. What am I supposed to be trying to explain?
Please close the thread while I get busy.
