Abstract
The most predictable observation concerning theories is that they will probably always turn out to be wrong. Prom Ptolemy to phlogisten these excercises have wasted untold model calculations and obsoleted endless sermons. Nevertheless, for the last 77 years, eschewing all humility, orthodox science has insisted on the theory that the entire universe was created instantaneously out of nothing. Observations for the last 33 years have shown this to be wrong—but these basic facts of science have been rejected on the grounds there was no theory to “explain” them.
