I took a look at the wrong claims thread today to find out that its closed. There is something I'd like to mention at this point. An example used in the link http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/RelWWW/wrong.html has an example that is not quite logically correct. The topic is "The Big Bang Theory Is Wrong." The author states
Two major players in this game are G. Veneziano and M. Gasperini. I found the website of the later.

The Big Bang theory does not say that the universe has a beginning. What it states is that at a particular time there was a rapid explosion/expansion. Theorists can't explain what happened at this time. They can only come very close to t = 0, never mind discussing what happened before t = 0. "Pure" Big Bang theorists even consider the later to be an invalid question. There is a new theory which goes beyond the current picture of the Big Bang and addresses what came before it. This new theory is aptly named Pre-Big Bang Cosmology.This one gets the most space, perhaps since the idea of a beginning (particularly a violent beginning) to the Universe seems to trouble many nonscientists (and even some scientists).
