As always, a theory should explain what we see and be open to testing.
EXPLANATIONS:
Before Darwin, somebody might have asked why animals have two eyes. Why not one or three? After Darwin, we understand how two eyes developed gradually. It's simply because those animals overcame the one-eyed creatures, and three eyes didn't add much benefit (unless one eye was in the back of the head of a particularly paranoid animal). In the same way, universal evolution can explain a puzzle hanging around scientific circles for a hundred years: "Why do protons, electrons, and quarks have their particular weights and charges?" After millions of different trials, these particles working together were more efficient in their use of energy than the others. Natural selection (elimination) whittled down the choices by trial and error.
Evenly distributed galaxies in all directions indicate they all came out of one pure point, one of the arguments for a Big Bang. However, scattered submatter appearing randomly does the same thing, and the process also explains the local clumps which expansion from a single, pure point does not.
In 2007, astronomers at the University of Minnesota discovered a blank spot, one billion light-years across, in the universe. Radio telescopes find no signal or any familiar background radiation, nothing at all. We've seen other "empty" places like this in the universe but none this big.
This discovery hurts the theories in Chapter Seven, Nine, and Eleven. The Big Bang predicts the universe should be more evenly spread than it is, but so does Kapp's theory, with matter coming into existence randomly everywhere.
