So, the cosmic microwave background is just coincidentally that which the big bang model predicted?

Why?
The background story on the kid is pretty interesting.

I read the whole thing, and yes, it was interesting. I'm just curious as to how the anti-BBers deal with the two biggest supports for the Big Bang: red shift and CMB. Seems like solid evidence to me and difficult to account for otherwise.

I don't care what a 12 year old thinks, genius or not.

Clearly the more plausible theory is that an immortal mammal from another planet spoke the universe into existence.

These child prodigy things almost never end well.
The kid is already tormented by nightmares. The kid is in college and his socialization will almost inevitably be warped. Most of the people in college will be jealous of him; others will try to use him for help. He probably doesn't get enough time around kids his own age. When he does he is probably ostracized out of either jealousy or just weirdness.
I say again, poor kid. I hope it works out for him.
