Hi Dehammer:

I think the pro's refer to the "Bang" not as an explosion but as an expansion. An explosion implies maximum output to me expressed all at once to drop off as the power wanes. An expansion can have a variety of speeds dependent on the cause. No one seems to know the cause yet and that is one point of my post.

If some one is to argue that gravitation holds the Galaxoes together i can see their point but I must wonder why gravity is suficient on a small scale and would fail overall. When you weigh the issue from start to finish you must accept per the theory that at one time after the beginning all the stuff was closer together. If gravity was going to hold anything that was the best opportunity. If all space is expanding then why are not the objects in that space?

Any way this is nothing to get serious about.
