See Ned Wright's criticism of Lerner:-http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~wright/lerner_errors.html-Alternative theories are given consideration. They just don't stand up.

I raise this flag again, despite David's previous refusal to acknowledge any merit in it, because of recent discoveries in cosmology as well as bio-medical research.

I know that many modern cosmologists are hesitant to give up their pet theories, but they shouldn't exclude others from trying to prove/disprove the theories.

Latest tentative finding. The early universe might have had spin that may well be continuing. We can't 'see' the spin, but there are telltale signs of it in the CMB, and the galaxies spin both right and left in a pattern that suggests spin. Note that I am always interested in new findings that have merit in my eyes.
