i think it works the other way, i dismissed the theory of the big bang, which means that either somethin else caused radiation in the universe, or that radiation was always there.
Remember the big bang did not create the universe, rather the big bang lets say arranged all the rocks in the universe. dependin on ur definition of 'universe' of course.
oh katie, hate me all u want, ( i have a feeling everyone hates me).
universe is at this point basicly defined as everything we're aware of.
now, as for your comment about radiation, radiation doesn't "just exist", it does have to have some source of some nature to radiate from. now, you've proven that you have no idea what the cosmic background radiationo is whatsoever, so i'll sum up quickly. basicly, there is a background radiation that has been detected in the entire universe. when looking in any direction, ignoring occasional closer features, the radiation is almost exactly the same. the wavelength it is at, corresponds exactly for the shift in the spectrum that had been calculated from the first light in the universe, which took place a little bit into the life of the universe, when, basicly, the universe first became transparent. the values for what wavelength it would be came out of a lot of what we know about chemistry.
the existance of the radiation, and at what wavelength it would be found, was predicted a good 10 or 20 years before it was actually detected. Note that the wavelength was predicted, not just "oh, theyre's something in the background", it was a specific prediction based on theory, and it was supported by evidence
