What do you think about the evidences against the Big Bang?

>The Horizon Problem: The universe's background radiation is remarkably uniform, which is puzzling because, according to the Big Bang theory, there hasn't been enough time since the beginning of the universe for light or other signals to travel between the furthest regions of space to even out these temperatures.

>The Flatness Problem: The universe appears to be flat (in a geometric sense), but the Big Bang theory suggests that for this to be the case, conditions in the early universe would have had to be set to an extremely precise degree, which some argue is unlikely.

>The Magnetic Monopole Problem: The Big Bang theory predicts the existence of magnetic monopoles (isolated magnetic charges), but none have been observed.

>Galaxy Formation and Distribution: The Big Bang theory does not adequately explain the large-scale structure of the universe, including the distribution and formation of galaxies.

>Dark Matter and Dark Energy: The existence of dark matter and dark energy, which are necessary to explain observations under the Big Bang framework, is still largely hypothetical. Some critics argue that the need for these unseen, undetected elements might point to gaps in the theory.

>Age of the Universe vs. Age of Objects: There have been observations of stars and galaxies that appear to be older than the estimated age of the universe according to the Big Bang theory, although these observations are often contested or reinterpreted.

>Singularity Problem: The Big Bang theory begins with a singularity, an infinitely dense point, which is a concept that current physics, including General Relativity, cannot explain or describe.

>The Baryon Asymmetry Problem: The observed imbalance between matter and antimatter in the universe is not currently explained by the Big Bang theory, leading to questions about how and why matter came to dominate.
