Your big bang bubble is about to burst!
Of all hypotheses, it has to be the worst.
Your theory, to me, is quite contrary,
with a starting point that is arbitrary.
Which theory do you think will cause credibility to increase:
to have the gradual creation of matter,
atom by atom, piece by piece,
or have the whole universe appear
in a single spontaneous release?
Olbers Paradox is explained by cold, invisible dark matter
that proves the former and ridicules the latter.

Your ‘big bang burst’ when first I heard,
I knew at once was quite absurd.
Plain common sense can’t understand
how a ‘nothing’ can be curved, let alone expand.
Your objection to continuous creation
is illogical rejection of information:
an example exists in experimentation
for it occurs in beta disintegration.
I ask the questions you’re too afraid to answer;
I ask the questions you continually avoid:
what existed before your big bang?
What resisted your space-time void?
Will your theory be destroyed?
