Par for the course then for a creation 'scientist'.
You rely on such a scientific peer reviewed writing as wikipedia so much!
The man wrote the references in that article to evolutionists' own writings about the Big Bang Theory being collapsed. Go check out the articles in the papers he referenced, and stop attacking the messengers with wikipedia, which anyone at all may edit. Maybe even you, yourself, have edited wikipedia,and are quoting yourself from there, for all I know!

She just doesn't "get it". Why not? It's right there, and I can sorta-kinda understand it? Well, her IQ, in human terms, is probably about 14. Other cats, about 8!
Obviously the feline counterpart to my very own "Bono the Wonder Beagle"!

Do you believe that the LORD God/YHWH Elohym, created everything?

So was that book peer-reviewed? Does it hold any kind of scientific credibility? What Ph.D. does his author have anyway, and what position does he now hold in a scientific institution? Given that it's published by a non-scientific creationist press and that the only references to it are from creationist website, I'm unimpressed..
Darwin's peers, theologians, have reviewed his works and found them false.
Darwin held a BA in Theology, and Theologians with only a BA are his peers who have reviewed his work.

Also; Ray Comfort has reviewed Darwin's "Origin of Species" which is in public domain, and has republished it with his reviews; Ray Comfort reproduces 'Origin of Species' with creation comparisons

Duane Gish, Ph.D. in biochemistry, University of California, Berkeley 1953 .
He has held key positions at Berkeley, Cornell University Medical College, and The Upjohn Company, where he collaborated with former Nobel Prize winners in various projects. His interest in the creation/evolution issue grew until, in 1971, he left The Upjohn Company to join the faculty at the newly established (1970) Christian Heritage College and its research division. In 1972, the latter changed its name to the Institute for Creation Research, and Dr. Gish has served as Associate Director and Vice President since that time.

So in other words, instead of using the scientific method and following wherever the evidence leads them, this organization is openly admitting by their very name that their only goal is to try to find anything that might support creationism and discredit evolution. That's not what scientists do. They don't start with the point of view that they already know the answer and then go look for something to prove it's true.

No, I'm not. I don't believe there is such a being as God and it's my opinion that all religions, every one of them, are based on mythology.

Okay, so you are not "god". Then you are not a peer who can review the Bible -right?

Do you believe nothing created something?
