Is there a difference between background radiation and background count rate?

There is a subtle difference. Background count rate is the measure of how strong the background radiation is.


What is the frequency of creation of the universe in the theory of continuous creation?

All the time. That is the meaning of continuous. However this theory was refuted when the 3K background radiation was detected, confirming the big bang.

Why hasn't the radiation left over from the big bang dissipated to the far ends of the universe?

The radiation left over from the big bang, known as the cosmic microwave background radiation, has not dissipated to the far ends of the universe because it is constantly expanding and cooling as the universe expands. This radiation is spread uniformly throughout space, and although it has cooled significantly since the big bang, it can still be detected in all directions.
