Professor George O. Abell (University of California) states that

be abandoned in the face of new evidence:

The steady-state universe is infinite and eternal and has much
philosophical appeal. But we have already seen that certain objects,
especially quasars, change as the universe ages, which violates the
perfect cosmological principle. Moreover, we shall see subsequently that
there is direct evidence that the universe has evolved from a hot, dense
state, strongly supporting the idea of a big bang. 3
When American scientists announced the discovery of radiation
patterns in space that may mark the beginning of time itself,
astrophysicist George Smoot, leader of the research team said:
"What we have found is evidence for the birth of the universe—It's like
looking at God. The order is so beautiful and the symmetry so beautiful that
you think there is some design behind it." Somewhere else, he added:

"It is a mystical experience, like a religious experience. It really is like
