dramatically strengthened the case for a big bang creation
(thoroughly biblical1) when they released the latest map of
radiation left over from the cosmic origin event.2 The team made
public their analysis based on three years' continuous
observations of that cosmic background radiation via satellite-
the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP). This analysis,
by far the most thorough and detailed to date, yields five
independent confirmations of the hot big bang creation model.3
Inflation confirmation  This hot big bang model proposes that
the continuous and relatively constant expansion of the universe
from an actual beginning of space, time, matter, and energy was
interrupted by a very brief period of extremely rapid expansion
when the universe was less th
