I'm not sure what that piece has to do with the Big Bang Theory, which does have some problems. The formulas don't add up, so they created fudge factors like "dark matter" and "dark energy" to make the equations work. Now somebody is going to have to experimentally find those things and I don't think there are any good ideas yet on how to do that. Until they do, the understanding of the origin of the universe, and mechanisms of gravity itself, are up in the air.
There's something inherently odd about the Big Bang Theory beyond equations. What did the singularly explode into? It ain't a vacuum. The theory implies that space-time did not exist at all, or at least not outside the confines of that softball-sized super-concentrated blob of all matter in the universe. That the big bang unfolded space-time into a non-vacuum is a little hard to wrap one's head around.
Heck, relativity has never been reconciled with the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle operating at the quantum level. Some theoretical physicists have postulated alternate universes under string theory to account for the conflicts. That sounds like a fudge factor theory as well.
All in all, though, it seems to me pursuit of questions yielding partial answers that lead to the next questions beats the heck out having some "guy in the sky" nobody has ever seen, based on a book written by people who DID think the earth revolved around the sun, consciously creating stuff.
Anyway, should anybody doubt that the earth rotates around the sun? I don't think so.
