This superficially logical assumption was later to become the acorn that<br />
grew into the notion <strong>of</strong> ‘The Big Bang’. This name was coined by the<br />
famous English astronomer Sir Fred Hoyle during a radio interview as a<br />
suspected term <strong>of</strong> derision due to his rejection <strong>of</strong> the idea. After all, and<br />
amongst other things, the idea was that everything in our universe began ?<br />
with its origin at one point within ... nothingness! However, if the ideas<br />
around redshift were correct then there was indeed room to assume that<br />
a Big Bang could have happened and that by implication for so many<br />
good folks, this would also suggest that the Bible’s moment <strong>of</strong> creation<br />
had been proved by science, no less! Understandably, religions all over<br />
the world went cock-a-hoop at the idea, but as we will see, redshift has been under critical inspection for a long<br />
time. Many more and far better quality observations and analyses <strong>of</strong> data have, over the years, shown that the<br />
redshift factor and what it has been used for has resulted in ideas and practices founded on very shaky ground<br />
indeed. Take a moment to think how serious a suggestion this is. It brings into question the whole idea <strong>of</strong> a Big<br />
Bang event and religion’s reliance upon a supposed scientifically proven moment <strong>of</strong> creation.<br />
The story <strong>of</strong> Comets [1-12] is a great one to further highlight the intractable problems faced by today’s SM.<br />
Comets have long been described in the following terms: They are lumps <strong>of</strong> loosely-packed, dirty, icy material<br />
that travel on long elliptical orbits within our Solar System. As they<br />
get close to the Sun they begin to sublimate (i.e. they convert their<br />
solid icy surface material directly into gas) as part <strong>of</strong> a process that<br />
accounts for the enormous ‘glowing cloud’ <strong>of</strong>ten seen surrounding<br />
them and the long tails they produce behind them. All the material<br />
expelled from a comet’s surface that is showered into space as gas<br />
and dusty debris is said to occur as a result <strong>of</strong> this process.<br />
Over recent decades there have been many close-up observations<br />
<strong>of</strong> comets and a much better analysis <strong>of</strong> their behaviour than had<br />
previously been possible. The questions that have arisen from the<br />
results obtained now stand as serious points against the dirty snowball model. The evidence now is that comets<br />
are far different in their make-up than we have been led to believe. In view <strong>of</strong> this better quality information<br />
being available, it seems incredible that the astro-science establishment continues to hold on to its dirty old<br />
snowball theory. Again, we will be looking in detail later at the evidence that explains what comets really are<br />
and why they behave as they do.<br />
