From article linked "..,. in May 2004 the magazine New Scientist published an “Open Letter to the Scientific Community” signed by 35 astrophysicists and physicists affirming that the Big Bang theory had not been proven and that its predictions were contradicted by astronomical evidence.

The co-signers of the letter included, besides Eric Lerner himself, some famous scientists who made major contributions to astrophysics and astronomy, such as Hermann Bondi, Thomas Gold and Jayant Narlikar. Since then, over 200 additional astronomers and physicists have added their signatures to the Open Letter."
