Well, being statistically possible also helps a theory look good, but 
the fact that the big bang theory and its purported consequences have no 
hope of being feasible statistically [also, never mind Thermodynamics] 
still does not dampen the enthusiasm with which such theories are 
accepted and explored... we just stick to other stuff when teaching 
probability and statistics!!  :-)
