| A. The Big Bang Theory of evolution |
 | 1. Billions of years ago (10 - 20), all the energy and matter of the universe was compressed into a huge cosmic egg composed of subatomic particles and radiation.

2. The cosmic egg exploded and Hydrogen and Helium were formed
3. From these two elements, stars, galaxies, and solar systems created themselves. Eventually the first cell evolved and after even more time, cells evolved to man.
4. The cosmological principle states that the universe should be homogenous i.e. all the matter should be distributed equally in all directions.

B. Problems with the Big Bang Theory |
| | 1. Thermodynamics: |
| | | a) According to evolution, matter should have an intrinsic tendency to go from simple to complex levels of organization
b) According to creation, matter should go to lower levels of organization
c) There is no natural tendency for matter to transform itself from disorder to order and from simple to complex, but instead, the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics states that all systems have a natural tendency to go from order to disorder and from complex to less complex.
d) The entire universe is deteriorating. For example, the sun and stars are burning themselves out and will kill all life if there is no God who intervenes.
Star's Life Cycle
e) How could the same natural processes that are now destroying the universe have created it?
f) The 2nd Law applies to all isolated systems without exception; therefore, if the Second Law does not apply to the universe, then the universe must not be an isolated system. |

2. Lack of homogeneity |
| | | a) The cosmos is not homogenous, but is actually "lumpy."
1) massive super-clusters of galaxies
2) vast emptiness in many areas
b) Background radiation is completely uniform in all directions, so there is no evidence of some things moving at different rates than others.

3. Star formation (evolutionary theory)—Interstellar dust and gas accumulated and condensed by the force of gravity. |
| | | a) The interstellar dust and gas supposedly came from a supernova; must have stars to make stars
b) While the star precursors were being pulled by gravity, the gases would heat up and they could not overcome the gas pressure pushing them away.
c) There is no real theory of star formation

4. Galaxy formation
One galaxy has been found that is so far away, that there is not enough time in the Big Bang time-frame for it to have formed and to have gotten where it is! |

5. Our solar system
There is no theory for the origin of our solar system which works, so one evolutionist concluded that it must not exist!

C. Theories about origins are not really scientific because they were not observed and cannot be repeated. |
| | 1. Creationists believe we can use natural laws and processes to explain the physical processes of the universe because God created a lawful universe; however, we cannot use natural laws and processes to explain origins.
Thinking God's Thoughts After Him
2. Evolutionists step outside the limits of empirical science by saying that we must use natural laws and processes to explain both the physical processes and the origin of the universe. |
