I would be very interested to hear more about the following: (1) there are other possible sources of the CMBR which have been proposed by various astronomers. (2) there are also alternative theories to explain the Hubble [red] shift, some of which hypothesize a static, non-expanding universe. The thermal radiation on the "temperature everything cools down to"? (Sorry, I don't remember the terminology). I thought there was pretty conclusive evidence that galaxies were moving away from each other. (3)there are plausible alternative cosmological theories. If you have the time, I would appreciate a bit of explanation on the above. Most theories I have read about involve a "bang", followed by superstrings, m-branes, a moment of "inflation", etc. There are also theories of endless cycles of expansion/collapse/rebirth but I am not sure if there is any evidence to those.
