Really interesting discussion between Lubos and Matt Strassler and I for once I actually side with with Matt for reasons I have expressed in other discussions on this very subject.

Matts two articles:

http://profmattstrassler.com/2014/03/26/which-parts-of-the-big-bang-theory-are-reliable/

Lubos response article:
http://motls.blogspot.com.au/2014/03/the-universe-really-began-with-big-bang.html#more

I guess that means I am doing a disservice to science a claim Lubos levels at Matt smile

Quote:
I think that in general, Matt is doing a disservice to science and the laymen's understanding of science by these constant "doubts about all important insights that are not covered by any appropriately strong points or evidence".

I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
