What are the principal alternatives? Do they include a matrix like we are all living in a simulation scenario? I don't disbelieve the big bang theory, but the theory of evolution seems much more elegant and obvious by comparison. Also the big bang theory might model things very well, but to me it seems somewhat unfullfilling. The interesting question is, What caused the big bang? That's the real Brane Teaser.
