Today, the consensus among scientists, astronomers and cosmologists is that the Universe as we know it was created in a massive explosion that not only created the majority of matter, but the physical laws that govern our ever-expanding cosmos. This is known as The Big Bang Theory.
1) The origin of our universe occurred a finite number of years ago; 2) Its current expansion issues from a much smaller, hotter and denser state in the past; 3) Hydrogen, helium, deuterium and lithium were created from this primeval fireball; 4)The cosmic background radiation is the fireball light from this event. Only the big bang theory seems capable of explaining these 'cosmological' features. I think it will be a very long time before we find a better theory that doesn't look a lot like big bang cosmology.
