No Shadow From the Big Bang?

ultracool writes "In a finding sure to cause controversy, scientists at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) found a lack of evidence of shadows from "nearby" clusters of galaxies using new, highly accurate measurements of the cosmic microwave background (WMAP). Other groups have previously reported seeing this type of shadows in the microwave background. Those studies, however, did not use data from WMAP, which was designed and built specifically to study the cosmic microwave background."

    Seems like the big bangs being challenged every other day as a theory.. it's almost like evolution.. not a certainty of course but the best idea around that folks have reached a consensus on. You know on a side note I wonder why our American-Taliban friends have never challenged the big bang being taught in schools as apart of their quests to force creationism down our throats. Just a thought.

    Im sorry to say, but the big bang never happened. Sure, you have lots of big bangs going off all around, some of them do produce life, but never has one ever created a universe. Im sorry to say, but if god had a big bang before the universe, it wasent responsible for the creation of the unviverse. Us true believers all know the unvirverse is snot blow out of gods nose. Fear the comming of the greate white hankerchif!
