The Big Bang Theory and The Steady State Theory both try to explain how the universe began (or existed). Below are 3 pieces of evidence.

Question

Match the piece of evidence to the theory that it supports.

(2 points)

Scientists have not found objects older than 14 billion years. Big bang theory or Steady State Theory

Galaxies are moving outward from a central point. Big bang theory or Steady State Theory

Cosmic radiation levels were predicted by this theory before they were detected. Big bang theory or Steady State Theory

Answer 1

Here is the matching of each piece of evidence to the theory it supports:

1. Scientists have not found objects older than 14 billion years. - Big Bang Theory

2. Galaxies are moving outward from a central point. - Big Bang Theory

3. Cosmic radiation levels were predicted by this theory before they were detected. - Big Bang Theory

The Big Bang Theory is supported by these pieces of evidence, while the Steady State Theory does not account for these observations as well.
