Its pretty well accepted that the big bang happened. As far as I have
heard, the macro repulsive force is separate from gravity, and is
something to do with the remaining large amount of cosmic strings woven
through the universe. Perhaps some can give more detail, but IMHO,
people who try to claim the big bang never happened are as zealously
dogmatic in proving a negative due to their fanatic atheism as anyone
who still claims the earth was created in 4004 BC.
