If light-years dictate time in a sense of looking X years in the past, why is the Big Bang theory standard if we are essentially trying to discover space at the same time as our own ocean, which we know little? Does an overlap of capability not appear apparent, and if not why?

Astronomy is vastly more simple than geology or chemistry or biology.
Astronomy deals strictly with physics and mathematics. Everything can be calculated.
The oceans? They’re full of sciences that don’t have that benefit.
They’re full of complexity that makes even the most robust stellar orbits pale in comparison.
We cannot (until very recently and still not *really*) predict how 3 gravitational bodies attracted to one another will advance more than a few iterations in time.
Yet, the complexity of biology is one that requires us to sort through systems that are interacting in ways that are entirely alien to the rest of the Universe at the cosmic scales.
They’re at *our* scale. And our scale isn’t one that’s easily measured and calculated.
