I think it would depend on how you define what a big bang theory is.Just taking a head count here. Personally I do not.
This Article claims that we can see 46 billion light years in all directions, which would mean pretty much we're at the center of the universe, which is astronomically unlikely. Maybe after 14 billion years, light just dies out. Would make sense.Well i can say either way as far as what science says, in the beginning in the bible let there be light i am sure was a big event. But the current scientific theory has some issues to hurdle, the Big Bang theory cannot explain these problems.
Initial density perturbation, or flatness problem, horizon problem, monopole problem.
Or maybe we just can't see any further at this time.This Article claims that we can see 46 billion light years in all directions, which would mean pretty much we're at the center of the universe, which is astronomically unlikely. Maybe after 14 billion years, light just dies out. Would make sense.
Or maybe the universe is much smaller than we think.Or maybe we just can't see any further at this time.
Well if the universe has an edge the location is unknown. Where the milky galaxy is in the universe still isn't determined.This Article claims that we can see 46 billion light years in all directions, which would mean pretty much we're at the center of the universe, which is astronomically unlikely. Maybe after 14 billion years, light just dies out. Would make sense.
The Big Bang theory rests upon the Space Time Expansion theory.Just taking a head count here. Personally I do not.
We appear to be the center of the universe for the same reason any spot on the surface of the Earth appears to be the center of the surface. For a 2-dimensional surface on a 3-dimensional sphere, any point at all could be considered to be the center.This Article claims that we can see 46 billion light years in all directions, which would mean pretty much we're at the center of the universe, which is astronomically unlikely.

But that doesn't work on the inside of a sphere.We appear to be the center of the universe for the same reason any spot on the surface of the Earth appears to be the center of the surface. For a 2-dimensional surface on a 3-dimensional sphere, any point at all could be considered to be the center.
Nope... I don't see that as a real thing.It does for a 2-dimensional being. Just as this universe does for a 3-dimensional being.
All a 2D entity would see is line segments.I suppose 2-dimensional beings wouldn't buy the idea of a surface that was limited but unbounded, either. But that's what the surface of a sphere is. So a 3-dimensional universe can also be limited but unbounded in the same way. I suspect that isn't a difficulty for God, though.
Actually, a 2D entity would observe objects with length and width, just as we observe objects with length, width, and height, even if the image on our retinas is only 2-dimensional. A 2D entity would be on the surface. It could not perceive anything inside or outside the surface.All a 2D entity would see is line segments.
Your model doesn't work as if anything we are inside a sphere not the surface.
So in no way relevant to the question.Actually, a 2D entity would observe objects with length and width, just as we observe objects with length, width, and height, even if the image on our retinas is only 2-dimensional. A 2D entity would be on the surface. It could not perceive anything inside or outside the surface.
Still not relevant to the discussion.Pretty much the way we observe width, length, and height by seeing two-dimensional images. Just as that 2-D image changes as we walk around an object, so would the line segment change as a 2-D entity moved around a shape. It might be useful to read Edwin Abbott's Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions. Written in the 1800s, it explores the nature of a possible 2-D universe.
