Car bomb? tsk tsk I used this because they happen almost daily and you have a lot to choose from.
But, you are looking at the big picture again, not a very small part of it. Show me a small part from an explosion that looks orderly. I'm game if you can find one. The big picture is a hole in the ground, with lots of stuff thrown outwards. And you look at it right after it happens, rather than what? billions of years later? lol Show me something current. Take a times lapsed film of a detonation and show me some order to it. Of course the only order will be What goes up, must come down. Law of Gravity. Show me something made in an explosion, say something small like, piston wrist pin clip.LOL
could? That is my thinking, do you have a better explanation?
Sorry, this is tough because you replied inside the quote, Smitty. There are many, many points in this thread that I would love to discuss, but I just don't have the time. However, I just can't let this whole explosion thing go - I have to address it.
You seem to be basing your opinion of if the big bang is even possible based upon an extremely limited physical perspective.
Your car bomb observation proves the order that comes from an explosion of matter. There IS order to the car bomb explosion, you are simply looking at the event on far too small of a scale - the universe is huge - HUGE. Bigger than any of us can even comprehend. Ever seen the Hubble Ultra Deep field image?
Hubble UDF site
Each of those dots is a Galaxy. A GALAXY - like, the Milky Way. Each contains, conservatively, 100 BILLION stars. There are an estimated 10,000 galaxies pictured in the UDF image, which you can see at the above link. This picture is just a small section of it.
Anyway, moving on. You have made a valiant attempt to set up a straw man with your car bomb theory, but even it doesn't hold up, because the universe is very predictable when it comes to these things. Anyway, as your car bomb explodes, the gravity of the mass involved and nearby interact and aggregate into a single mass - this is what matter does in the universe. In this case, the earth affects the particulates created in the explosion far more than the particulates affect the earth, only because of the size difference. It happens very fast on this small of a scale. Thusly - order. From your explosion, order is created. Certainly, the parts of the car are not sorted into neat piles, and the explosion doesn't create a duck or something, but it doesn't matter. There is still order - the matter involved in the explosion coalesced. This is exactly what happened after the big bang, only on a massive scale.
In the big bang, sure, there was apparent chaos for quite some time - a couple billion years or so, really looked like nothing was happening, probably. But as the universe expanded, smaller particulates - dust, for instance, began to coalesce into small rocks. Those rocks had more gravity than their component dust, and also stuck together. This continued on huge scales, creating planets, asteroids, etc. Same thing happened with clouds of gas, as they formed clouds and their gravity made them more and more dense, until ultimately the pressures and temperatures starts a thermonuclear fusion reaction (converting Hydrogen to Helium), igniting the star. Balls of gas that did not attain the necessary size to ignite a fusion reaction were captured by more massive objects to become planets, or were coalesced into those more massive objects. Of course, this happened hundreds of billions of times, and continues to happen today in areas of the universe such as M16 (
Eagle Nebula) and the
Small Magellanic Cloud
Remember when the Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet
slammed into Jupiter a few years back? Aggregation. Order from chaos. One less rogue rock in the universe.
So, we fast forward another few billion years and galaxies are pretty much fully formed as the raw material is used up, and there is more and more empty space in the universe. At the center of each it is generally accepted that there is a supermassive black hole holding everything together. This was, of course also created by aggregation, not by the "poof" method. Just as the dust coalesces into small rocks, larger objects to the same. It is, however, far more spectacular because those objects have more energy. There is also the question of "dark" matter, which science knows exists, but still does not completely understand.
If you want to see aggregation at work, look under a bed sometime. See those dust bunnies? Aggregation. Different principles at work, but again, what you're seeing, on a certain level at least, is order from chaos.

no hard feelings on any of it.
