How did round planets form from the explosion of the Big Bang?

Hello Aptera, Welcome to EvC! Sorry, but you're wrong already (don't worry, many people that come here get this wrong). The therory of evolution only talks about the development of life. Everything that came before that is not a part of the theory. It didn't "come" from anything. With that I don;t mean it came from nothing. It's not really my strong point, physics, but I believe it was some sort of shifting of energy into a different state. That is the state we are in today. And before you start asking what was there "before the big bang", that question is nonsensical. Think of it like the question, what is north of the north pole, that makes no sense either. It didn't explode. The big bang was the expansion of spacetime, which continues to this day. Planets are round because of gravity. And again, there was no explosion. If there was an explosion perhaps.Hope this help clear some stuff up.Edited by Huntard, : Forget to quote something

I hunt for the truthI am the one Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand
My image is of agony, my servants rape the land
Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain
Two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name
Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law
My name is called religion, sadistic, sacred whore.

Some claim to have experienced him. I however, do not find that convincing evidence for myself to justify a believe in him. Ok, fair enough. Ask, and perhaps through our answers and your own research, you'll be one day convinced by the evidence. This is something you should work out yourself, I feel. I will say however that there are many people who believe in god who are also convinced by the evidence that evolution is true. I don't "choose" to "believe" in something. I am either convinced or unconvinced by the evidence that some claim is true. I thikn some physicists might disagree with you on not "knowing" the big bang theory. True, no one has observed the big bang, but this isn;t necessary to draw conlcusions from the evidence it did leave behind. This is all kind of hard for me to explain. I hope cavediver or Son Goku can give a very basic explanation. In the meantime, look it up on Wikipedia (just search for big bang). That should point you in the right direction.If you need some clarification, please ask, we're here to help.

True. I wouldn't call that a belief though. And usually, I'll say something like: "Current evidence points to this and that, there are doubts however as to the accuracy of this". Or something along those lines. Yes. But when there is overwhelming evidence for a claim, and none to almost none against it, should we really then doubt if it is true? My "beliefs" are always tentative anyway, and when better or contradicting evidence comes to light, I'm not afraid or unwilling to change my "beliefs" and admit I was wrong in that particualr case. I've done so several times on this forum, and it's not something one should be ashamed of, methinks.

How does an infinite universe fit with the big bang? I mean, if it could be condensed into an infintisamely small point, then grew larger, it certainly wasn't infinite, right?

Yes, that's what I figured. My understanding however was that the big bang model meant that it couldn't have been infinite. Yes. Infinite spacetime can expand, like the hotel with the infinite rooms and infinite guests that fits one more guest in there. Infinities aren't a set number. Can something being extremely small be infinite? It's more a case of coordindates and their proximity to eachother, relative to today, isn't it? Well yes. If it can't tell us anything about something, then I guess it is stupid to expect it to be accurate about it. Would that not infact constitute infinite brittleness, being liquid and all (or am I misunderstanding brittleness)? Or does even liquid have something "solid" to it? (I know about molecules and stuff, but can we really call them "solid")?

But this version of Where did the matter and energy come from? isn't.
