Ever since I first heard about the Big Bang as a kid, I’ve never really bought it. The concept of the entire universe being literally a dimensionless point - I just don’t think so. If that’s what the math leads to, doubt the math or the observations the math is based on. Same with dark matter and dark energy - I mean come on, if a theoretical model of the universe says it has to be 20x more dense than we can measure, you rethink the model - don’t decide 95% of everything must be “dark”. Dark is for the 3rd movie in a superhero franchise when the 2nd one doesn’t make enough money, it’s not a way to define the universe.

    Disbelieving one thing doesn’t require believing in something else. It’s possible not to believe the big bang theory without suggesting (or believing in) an alternative.

      I didnt say it wasnt possible. The OP mentioned that he didn’t believe it ever since he was a kid. Thats fine for a kid, but to then grow up and realize how many measurements and observations and calculations went into the theory, and to think you know better than the many many extremely intelligent people who have spent literal lifetimes studying the possibility, without having any alternative is just stupid and childish.
