I don't think your best bet is to put forward a competing hypothesis. If you do that, you will make yourself vulnerable to all the weaknesses of the hypothesis you propose. So leave religion and other theories out of it.
Instead, you should focus on the weak points of big bang theory. Pretty much the only thing holding it together right now is inflationary theory. Dig this: For the Big Bang theory to work, the universe had to not only expand, but expand at a super-fast rate.
Ridiculously, unaccountably fast. Inflationary theory is supposed to explain how this happened, but it doesn't every really explain HOW it happened... just that it did and what its effects would be. If there were no inflationary theory, we would expect the universe to be much smaller.
There should be magnetic monopoles lying around. And perhaps even some spatial curvature. None of these things are observed, and it is inflationary theory that makes them all automagically go away as problems.
So look into the ... more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
