Evidence-Based Critique

The Big Bang Theory:
What the Evidence Actually Shows

A systematic examination of the principal claims of Lambda Cold Dark Matter. Each article addresses one specific claim. Every conclusion is derived from peer-reviewed observational data — not from the Big Flare-Up Theory.

This directory is not a polemic. It is a systematic audit. Each article begins with the claim as stated by LCDM proponents, presents the observational evidence for and against that claim from the peer-reviewed literature, and reaches a conclusion based on what the evidence supports.

Where the evidence is ambiguous, that ambiguity is stated. Where the evidence contradicts the claim, that contradiction is documented with citations. The Big Flare-Up Theory is presented as an alternative where one exists — but the critique of each claim stands independently of whether BFUT is correct.

Claim 01
The Singularity Was Everywhere

The standard response to "where was the singularity" generates an immediate logical contradiction. Follow the argument.

Claim 02
Supernovae Prove Accelerating Expansion

The 2019 peer-reviewed reanalysis of the Nobel-winning dataset found 3.9-sigma directional anisotropy. This finding has not been refuted.

Claim 03
Dark Matter Must Exist Because Rotation Curves Are Flat

Decades of null results from every major detection experiment. Alternative explanations for flat rotation curves exist and are demonstrable.

Claim 04
The Universe Has a Single Expansion Rate

Three independent measurements of H₀ return three different values. The tension has exceeded 6 sigma.

Claim 05
The CMB Is Relic Radiation from Recombination

An alternative derivation of 2.725 K using only the Stefan-Boltzmann relation and measured luminosity density. Zero free parameters.

Claim 06
Big Bang Nucleosynthesis Explains Light Element Abundances

It explains three of four. For lithium-7, the prediction is off by a factor of 3.5. This has been unresolved for 30 years.

Claim 07
Mature Galaxies Cannot Exist at z > 10

JWST has confirmed spectroscopically verified galaxies at z = 10 to 13.2 that are more massive and structured than LCDM formation timescales permit.

Claim 08
The Universe Is Like a Balloon Expanding in All Directions

Three specific predictions of the balloon analogy that are directly contradicted by observation. Galaxy sizes. Orientations. The undefined local exception.
