Light travel-time: a
problem for the big bang
[Light travel-time: a problem for the big bang by Dr.
Jason Lisle] "There is [a] fatal flaw in using a light travel-time argument like
distant starlight to reject the Bible in favor of the big bang. Such an argument
is subtly self-refuting. This is because the big bang also has a light
travel-time problem! In the big-bang model, light is required to travel a
distance much greater than should be possible within the big bang’s own time
frame of about 14 billion years. This serious difficulty for the big bang is
called the “horizon problem.”
Light travel-time: a problem for the big bang, Lisle.
[An excerpt: Horizon Problem] “In the big-bang model, the universe begins in an
infinitely small state called a singularity, which then rapidly expands.
According to the big-bang model, when the universe was still very small it would
have developed different temperatures in different locations. Let’s suppose that
point A is hot and point B is cold. Today, the universe has expanded and points
A and B are now widely separated.
However, the universe has an extremely uniform temperature at great
distance—beyond the farthest known galaxies. In other words, points A and B have
almost exactly the same temperature today. We know this because we see
electromagnetic radiation coming from all directions in space in the form of
microwaves. This is called the “cosmic microwave background” (CMB). The
frequencies of radiation have a characteristic temperature of 2.7 K and are
extremely uniform in all directions. The temperature deviates by only one part
in 105. The problem is this: how did points A and B come to be the same
temperature?...”

Response to comment [from "Just accept the Bible, which doesn't stop you from accepting the big bang as well."
At least take an honest look at the evidence.
Response to comment [from a "Christian"]: "Liar."
