Expansion: Big Bang or Stretching? 11

Helium-2 Nebulas. Clouds of glowing, blue gas, called helium-2
nebulas, have been set aglow by something hot enough to strip two
electrons from each helium atom. No known star—young or old—is hot
enough to do so (16), but compressed conditions before the heavens
were stretched out would do this.

Dark “Science.” The big bang theory must invoke unscientific
concepts, such as “dark matter” and “dark energy,” to try to explain
the “stretched out heavens.” What is dark matter and dark energy? Even
believers in those ideas don’t know (17).

Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). The CMB is often given as evidence
for the big bang theory. Actually, that radiation, when studied
closely, is a strong argument against the big bang and evidence for
the sudden creation of matter within an immense universe.

the presence of the He II nebulas is a bit of a mystery’ comments
