How Old Is the House
Conflicts in Science by Royal T. McArdell
About the Book: How Old Is the House challenges many popular beliefs about scientific theories and scientific issues. Arguments both for and against popular theories and issues are presented so that you can make your own decisions as to what to believe. The Introduction is about a house that is either new or 150 years old- perhaps you can figure it out.

Issues with the Big Bang theory:
The Big Bang theory was introduced in the 1920’s after Hubble discovered that stars appeared to be moving away from us due to red shift and the light from more distant stars was found to be more red shifted than the light from nearer stars. According to this widely accepted theory, everything in the Universe was once at a single point in space and then expanded with great energy, hence the “Big Bang.”
The purpose of a theory is to provide an explanation for observed phenomena, but there are numerous difficulties with this theory that are generally ignored. The following are some of the more widely known problems that are described in the first chapter of the book.
-
The Theory does not correctly describe the shape of the Universe.
-
The Universe seems to be expanding faster requiring new energy
-
The theory does not explain how physical objects came into existence
-
Connected galaxies have different red shifts
-
Stars within galaxies have different red shifts
-
Calculations using the Hubble constant show that the Universe is expanding at or near the speed of light
-
Background radiation flows in all directions, not from a source
-
The nearby Andromeda Galaxy is blue shifted
-
Nearby stars appear to be uniformly young
-
Scientific laws conflict with the formation of objects in space
-
Objects are not correctly positioned in space
-
The point of the origin of the Big Bang cannot be located
With all of these problems, why is this theory so widely accepted? The answer could be that the Big Bang theory seems to provide an explanation of how the Universe could possibly have been formed by natural processes even though the theory is not well supported by observed phenomena. In fact, numerous observations suggest a different beginning for our Universe and different kinds of star movements.
Since background radiation flows in all directions, it could be suggested that there was a big bang beginning, but everything could have formed at about the same time already distributed in space. This would also infer that time or age is also a created concept. This would also agree with the fact that there appears to be no point of origin for the Big Bang and objects in space are not at the outer edges of the Universe but are spread throughout. Extreme red shift would also suggest sideways movement or rotation rather than an unreasonable rate of expansion. Rotation of smaller areas within the Universe could potentially explain galaxies containing stars having different red shifts.
End.
