What if there was no big bang & we live in an ever-cycling universe?

PSI Editor: Astronomical heresy from – of all places – New Scientist! The following article will be welcomed by skeptics as it further reveals cracks are deepening in the accepted narrative of modern cosmology:
REFLECTING on the question of what God was doing before creation, Saint Augustine is said to have quipped: “He was preparing hell for those who pry into mysteries.” Apparently the idea of hell doesn’t scare today’s scientists. As a matter of fact, many of us are trying to understand how our universe came to be.
You might think that the universe started with a big bang. Ten years ago, that is what I thought too. But then I came to realise that the issue is far from settled. Pursuing this question prompted me to change the tack of my career and become a cosmologist, even though I had just completed a PhD in the philosophy of quantum physics. What I have discovered since then supports a radically new response to the question that irked Augustine – what came before the beginning? The answer, thrillingly, may be that there never was a big bang, but instead a universe with no beginning or end, repeatedly bouncing from an epoch of contraction to expansion, and back again.
In the 1920s, the Russian physicist Alexander Friedmann and the Belgian priest and astronomer George Lemaître independently proposed that the universe was expanding. Extrapolating backwards in time, Lemaître reasoned that it ought to have started off as a small “primeval atom”. When Edwin Hubble provided compelling empirical evidence in favour of cosmic expansion based on his observation of the motions of distant galaxies, the case was settled. The expansion theory implied that the cold, vast universe we see today had once been a tiny, hot patch …

IMHO the BBT has about as much credibility as AGW.
Billions of $ spent on AGW , but has anyone calculated the amount given to BBT scientists?

The Big Bang theory seems to raise a few serious questions including:
1 Galaxies are moving apart which conflicts with our understanding of gravitational attraction.
2 The start point involves elements of time, mass, and energy which are generally incomprehensible.
3 The concept of “Dark Matter” is inferred to explain astronomical sightings of visible matter, but remains a hypothetical construct.
4 Our understanding of gravity is quite deficient, yet gravity must represent a critical element for understanding any universe evolution theory.
Joseph A Olson PE has some personal insights into the origin of the term Big Bang as discussed at https://principia-scientific.com/big-bang-rebuttal/

The author does a great injustice to Augustine by taking a quote way out of context. Augustine wrote in his Confessions, “See, I answer the man who says, ‘What did God do before he made heaven and earth?’ I do not give the answer that someone is said to have given, evading by a joke the force of the objection: ‘He was preparing hell,’ he said, ‘for those prying into such deep subjects.’ It is one thing to see the objection; it is another to make a joke of it. I do not answer in this way. I would rather respond, ‘I do not know,’ concerning what I do not know rather than say something for which a man inquiring about such profound matters is laughed at, while the one giving a false answer is praised.”

The origin of the universe can not be explaned in a natural way. It will be seek and do not find. What you perceive is a projection from the mind. There is nothing outside you. It just looks as if it is a world you are walking on. The mind is not in the body, it is a projection to. There was no physical world before man. No one projected it. The history is an illusion. The world I see, is seen only by me. It looks similar to the world you see, only because our minds are united. We project almost the same. When I ”die” my universe disappears. The physical universe is like a dream. When you dream it looks real. When you wake up, the dream disappears. When you fall asleep the dream comes out of nowhere.
A physical world is just a dream. Its origin can not be explained in a natural way. A natural way must contain space, matter and time. They must be explained in a supernatural way. BBT and ET are fairy tails because they both start with ”the box full of toys”. The box must be empty and you must leave the box.
So, AGW, BBT, ET is just an illusion. What you not believe in, will not be part of you. But dont think you can chose what you dream, as long as you believe in what you see. All bad you see is FAKE. It is all projections from a mind in fear. The only cause science-people believe in BBT and ET is because they see a fearfull and meaningless world. They all agree on, that it looks as if it is designed. They all say that a benevolent God, could not have created it. They are right. FEAR created it.
🙏
