I guess there some questions about my brag, which I can't reply to. So I'll just do that here.
If most people are captivated by an idea, which was technically falsified many dozens of times over the decades and for which there is no technology or practical application, and I realize it's all wrong, then that deserves a brag.
Some folks here think its silly the Earth could have been formed in 6 days. But inflationary theories say the great structure of the universe was made in a fraction of a second. Surely somebody realizes that's a mistake.
The CMB has major anomalies that now cast the entire theory in doubt (to anyone willing to question it), the observations of mature galaxies at great distances, there is literally nothing the Big Bang gets right as of 2015.

That isn't even apples and oranges; you're comparing apples and ornithopods. The forces of geology work at a very different level of organization (and, partially because of that, at different timescales) than the forces of particle physics.
Your job, should you choose to accept it, is to comment on this thread explaining the most awesome thing you've done this month. You may be as blatantly proud of yourself as you feel. You may unabashedly consider yourself the coolest freaking person ever because of that awesome thing you're dying to tell everyone about. This is the place to do just that.
Remember, however, that this isn't any kind of progress thread. Nor is it any kind of proposal thread. This thread is solely for people to talk about the awesome things they have done. Not "will do". Not "are working on". Have already done. This is to cultivate an environment of object level productivity rather than meta-productivity methods.
So, what's the coolest thing you've done this month?
