I'm a little confused by the big bang theory.

Wasn't the concept of the big bang theory based around what we know understand as Laniakea and Perseus-Pisces Superclusters separating from one another?

Now we have named many Superclusters they are all separating from one another.

Doesn't this throw the "big bang theory" out the window?

No, it just slows it down a little bit, filling in the holes, as it were.....................

Some have theorized that instead of ‘one’ Big Bang, there were ‘several’ Mini Bangs...........................

Terence McKenna on the Big Bang Theory:

The hard swallow built into science is this business about the big bang…

This is the notion that the universe, for no reason, sprang from nothing in a single instant… notice that this is the limit test for credulity.

Whether you believe this or not, notice that it is not possible to conceive of something more unlikely, or less likely to be believed. I defy anyone.

It’s just the limit case for unlikelihood: that the universe would spring from nothing in a single instant for no reason…

It is in fact no different than saying, “and then God said, ‘Let there be light!’

What the philosophers of science are saying is “give us one free miracle and we will roll from that point forward, from the birth of time to the crack of doom.

Big Bang theory is basically a way to try to use science to create a Biblically-compatible view of the universe.
