The creation myth of modern science.

There is a theory, called the cosmological standard model, this mathematical theory attempts to explain the origin of the universe from the first moments of the big bang The maths predicts 1. 1. Non uniform heat distribution However heat distribution throughout the universe is very uniform in order to account for this counter-factual observation an ad hoc modification of the theory was developed, inflation, this suggested that initially the universe expanded slowly till the heat became uniform after which it underwent a period of immense and rapid inflation however there is no strong evidence of such inflation nor a theoretical explanation why it should have occurred 2. Stars velocity should decrease the farther out their orbit is from galactic central point, however, stars retain almost uniform velocity regardless of orbital radius. To accommodate this scientists postulated the existence of dark matter, a convenient neo-mystical substance that contributes to the mass of the universe but does not interact with matter in any other way. Not only that but in order to make the model work for every kg of real matter there must be 5kg of mystical or dark matter. Despite over 5 years of experiments attempting to establish the existence of dark matter none has been detected. Nor is there any theoretical understanding of what such matter could consist of 3. Universe should slow expansion but is increasing its rate of expansion, to accommodate this, laughably, scientists have evoked another fanciful explanation: Dark energy, and again there is no experimental evidence or theoretical understanding of what such energy might be for this further irrational and ad hoc postulation. 4. Finally, galaxies have been observed moving in a manner that the Standard Model rules out, the scientists explanation? Dark Flow necessitating the idea of a universe outside the universe Now you may be able to still believe the cosmologists explanation for the origin of the universe but not without a huge leap of faith, you true believers! Clearly, time for a paradigm shift! all the best urban
