Since its beginnings, the Big Bang Theory has evolved to rely on a growing number of hypotheses required to explain observations:

    - Nucleosynthesis theory: to explain the colder than expected temperature of the universe,
    - Luminosity correction for galactic evolution: to explain the failure of the Tolman test,
    - Inflation: to resolve the flatness problem, the uniformity of the CMBR temperature and the monopole problem,
    - Dark matter: to explain the problem of galactic rotation curves and the dynamics of clusters and groups of galaxies,
    - Dark Energy: to explain the acceleration of distant supernovae.

The continuous addition of new hypotheses to a theory constantly in disagreement with observations is a strong indication that the underlying assumption, that the universe expanded from an extremely dense and hot state, is invalid.  Based on the large number of publications which expose the theory's weaknesses, it is becoming clear that the Big Bang Theory is collapsing under the weight of its own untested assumptions.

The arguments against the Big Bang theory are different from those given to reject theories such as relativity or quantum mechanics.  While the latter theories have seen some refinements over the years, no major additional hypothesis was added.  Both theories have had their predictions confirmed to a very high accuracy.

  In contrast, the Big Bang theory has failed repeatedly to produce predictions that agreed with observations.  Instead of rejecting the initial assumption of an initial hot, dense state of the universe, a large number of additional hypotheses are used to hide the inconsistencies.  Today, more than 95% of the universe is claimed to be made of a substance which has never been seen.

  Many questions remain unanswered by the Big Bang theory:

    - Why don't Quasars follow the Hubble law?
    - Quasars appear as small objects yet are very energetic. What is their source of energy?  Why don't we see quasars nearby?
    - What causes the asymmetry in the temperatures of the CMBR on opposite sides of the sky?
    - Why doesn't the timescale of quasar variation increase with redshift?
    - Why are mature galaxies seen in the early universe?

The absence of reason produces monsters...
