'''Fred Hoyle''' (1915-2001) was a British [[astronomer]] who developed the [[steady state]] theory of [[cosmology]].
He was noted for his rejection of [[naturalistic]] theories of how the [[universe]] came into being. Nobel Prize winner Fowler wrote: "Fred Hoyle was the second great influence in my life. The grand concept of nucleosynthesis in stars was first definitely established by Hoyle in 1946." <ref>http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/hoyle.htm</ref> During a radio lecture, he coined the term "[[big Bang theory|big bang]]" to ridicule the theory (that he disbelieved) that the universe began from an explosion.

*He was best known for his seminal contributions to the theory of the structure of [[star]]s and on the origin of the chemical elements in stars. He was a joint proponent of the [[steady state model of the universe]], which claims, [[Biblical creation account|in contradiction with God]], that the universe had no beginning.
