In 2010, creation scientist Dr. D. Russell Humphreys wrote regarding his explanation for the Pioneer anomaly:
{{cquote|The only non-standard assumption I used was that the matter of the [[cosmos]] is limited in extent, with a fair amount of empty space beyond the matter—an assumption supported by the [[Bible]]. With those relatively modest beginnings, I was able to explain the Pioneer anomaly — it’s due to a change in the ‘fabric’ of space. In fact, this anomaly could be the first local manifestation we have observed of the expansion of the cosmos, and the first evidence that expansion is occurring in the present, not just the past.

The assumption I used violently contradicts the foundational assumption of the [[Big Bang theory|big bang]], which says the universe has no centre and no edge. In that model, the fabric of space would not change. Consequently, the big bang model has been unable to explain the anomalous Pioneer acceleration.<ref>http://creation.com/pioneer-anomaly</ref>}}
