Netiher appeals to me.
The big bang theory supposes an early universe that is comprised
within it's own schwarzschild radius. Hence that universe was a black
hole.
If it was a black hole then, it is a black hole now.
Current theories simply ignore this for no appearant reason.
Until someone explains me why
I will distrust current theories.
(though not as much as theological theories:-)
