[edit] Name change

Shouldn't this article be called History of the Theory of the Big Bang. The Bang Bang itself didn't have a history- it was the start of history.--Moonlight Mile 23:12, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree. The name should include "Theory" in the title such as History of the Big Bang Theory 67.124.172.254 21:03, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
What shall it be then? History of the theory of the Big Bang or History of the Big Bang theory?--Moonlight Mile 21:55, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Big Bang is a theory as well as the event. From Big Bang, "the Big Bang is the scientific theory..." Xiner (talk, email) 20:44, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
