The original essay was interesting, even as the discussion ranged a bit.  I looked up "Alfven's Theorem" but the Wikipedia article has some grammatical problems; and (more to the point) my div-grad-and-curl is too weak to read the mathematical explanation.

This is easier to understand and agree with but I do not know that this argument follows from the mathematics.

I do like this tangential argument: "The Big Bang fails scientifically because it seeks to derive the present, historically formed universe from a hypothetical perfection in the past."  That "Eden myth" is common in both left wing and right wing political theory. Whether it actually is found in astrophysics is another question.

At this stage in my life, I am also happy with "42."  The nature of language allows us to frame questions that have no meaning.  "Is mathematics green?" The origin of the universe may be that kind of a question.  My "42" is the scene in Carl Sagan's Contact (both the book and the movie) where Ellie Arroway asks her guide how they built the wormhole highway. "We did not build it. We found it here."
