Question

Which of the following is evidence used to support the Big Bang Theory?
Question 5 answers

background radiation

increasing distances between galaxies

both of the above

Answer 1

The first. Continuous creation also accounts for the second.

Answer 2

@Carl_Pham what do you mean by background radiations is the cause ?

Answer 3

Might be cosmic rays??

Answer 4

according to string theory i can estimate a result that there must be a collision had and due to this collision huge amount of energy released that is NOVA or SUPERNOVA. so background energies in your question may refer to this.

Answer 5

both of the above

Answer 6

"Background radiation" almost certainly refers to the ubiquitous 2.8K microwave radiation observed from all points of the sky, not excepting apparently empty regions, that was discovered by Penzias and Wilson in the 1960s, and for which they won the Nobel Prize in 1978. It is extremely difficult to explain why this radiation should be there in a continuous-creation model of the universe, whereas it makes perfect sense as the remnant of the Big Bang fireball.

The increasing distance between the galaxies, a.k.a. the Hubble expansion, isn't as good evidence for the Big Bang (although it's certainly consistent), because a continuous-creation model of the universe, in which matter is continuously created out of nothing, would also allow for a steady expansion.

Hopefully nobody objects to continuous creation because of its violation of Conservation of Matter: the Big Bang itself is, of course, another massive violation of Conservation of Matter. Indeed, the creation of the universe is per se a violation of that principle, and the only question is HOW it's violated, and when. Continuous creation says "a little bit, and all the time" while the Big Bang hypothesis says "a lot, all at once, and never again."
