The calculations keep spitting out infinities for reasons as simple as values in the denominator drive to zero while numerators expand ----> 1/0->infinity.
The model works great except at the margins... which is what drives most overhauls of a model (Copernicus->Newton->Einstein->Hawkings et al)

Most people whining about the "Big Bang theory" are about 20 years or more behind current thinking... they might as well still be whining about Einstein's changes or the loss of the earth-centered solar system model.
