Change "Starlight problem" to "Horizon problem"?
Could somebody add something in about how Roman Catholic priest [[Georges-Henri Lemaître]], the original proposer of the Big Bang theory, felt that the theory fitted beautifully with his faith as it supports a "creation event"? [[User:Ajkgordon|Ajkgordon]] 12:51, 8 January 2008 (EST)

== Change "Starlight problem" to "Horizon problem"? ==
There's a section in this article that refers to the "starlight problem" but I believe scientists actually refer to this issue as the "horizon problem." See [http://archive.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Cyberia/Cosmos/HorizonProblem.html here] and [http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/Hbase/astro/cosmo.html#c5 here] for example. One reason is that the problem has to do with more than starlight--there are questions about density, temperature, etc. The term "starlight problem" is generally used by people discussing creationist cosmological models, while "horizon problem" is more appropriate in the context of the big bang model.--[[User:JamesR|JamesR]] 20:07, 23 March 2008 (EDT)
