13 things that do not make sense
Check out: New Scientist 13 things that do not make sense - Features an interesting read of some of sciences unanswerable questions, at the moment.
2 The horizon problemOUR universe appears to be unfathomably uniform. Look across space from one edge of the visible universe to the other, and you'll see that the microwave background radiation filling the cosmos is at the same temperature everywhere. That may not seem surprising until you consider that the two edges are nearly 28 billion light years apart and our universe is only 14 billion years old.
Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, so there is no way heat radiation could have travelled between the two horizons to even out the hot and cold spots created in the big bang and leave the thermal equilibrium we see now...

So...are you against or doubtful of the idea of the big bang? Or of some kind of scientific creation of the universe?
