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!! :-)
