Thanks for your reply. I would be interested in finding out
what your disatisfactions with the big bang model are; perhaps you
could post them to the net sometime? I have never been clear
on the precise meanings of the basic terms used in the theory.
For example, the initial "bang" is sometimes described as
taking place "everywhere" simultaneously, which seems
to account nicely for the (presumed) fact that there are areas
of the universe which are not yet within our event horizon; 
however, this seems on the surface to be incompatible with
the idea of a "point" which expands. Ie., does "space" expand,
or does matter expand within space? I presume that if I
understood the theory mathematically, I would not be confused
over these questions. Any references you would care to
recommend, either pro- or anti-bang?
