Big Bang Cosmology
Many Christians have embraced the big-bang cosmology, distilling the theory down to the fact that the big bang represents a beginning of the universe. However, closer examination reveals that the big bang does not agree with the details of the biblical creation account at all.
Cosmic Inflation
Inflation is just one of many free parameters that cosmologists have at their disposal within the big bang model, so they can alter these parameters at will to get the intended result.
Dark Matter
While dark matter is needed to justify certain aspects of the big bang idea, creationist cosmology models work whether it exists or not.
