Richard, this is an exercise in sophistry, and you darn well know it. The bit about dancing about definitions of the universe, defining me obliquely as being "in love with" the Big Bang and therefore blind, and finally: to the heart of the matter.

Go on and push your "Little Bang" theory rather than this pointless exercise of trying to make it true by reducing all explanations to false. Then at least we might be actually discussing something rather than this neverending exercise in semantics and dictionary perusal for weasel-words.
