What predictions can be derived from the Big Bang theory
​
That there should be a fairly even background of microwave energy when we look out into space, and that this background should be equally intense no matter which direction we look.

Did you actually verify that quote? It sounds bogus. Since there's no one, single "Big Bang theory", I doubt that anyone with scientific credentials would utter such a remark.

I'm not sure about background radiation right now, but i think i have heard a similar thing about it too - being one of the things that resulted in the big bang theory, not vice versa.
​
You're right about the moving galaxies - that's not an example of a prediction - but the background radiation was only discovered within the last 20 years or so.

My current opponent (at Christian Underground) uses a lot of quotes from nature and new scientists, but i won't buy those articles for like 20 bucks each just for a debate.
​
A university library will have these articles, and they'll even help you find them.
​
But why bother? Quotes don't support an argument; evidence does. Make him show you evidence, not take down his copy of Bartlett's.
