“There is No Alternative to the Big Bang Cosmology” – a closed-minded argument of Big Bang Supporters

The first response from the Big Bang Supporters that he faced was this title […]
Does Philosophy teach us anything?
Basically supporters of modern official science frequently raise this question only to make a point as if Philosophy actually cannot teach anything.
