Claim
The universe was supposedly formed in the Big Bang, but explosions don't produce order or information.

Responses
- The claim demonstrates ignorance of Big Bang Theory. The Big Bang was not like a conventional explosion which casts debris in all directions. It was the rapid expansion of all space. The energy throughout space cooled and condensed into matter which gravity then condensed into stars and galaxies.
- Explosions can produce information such as sound waves, projectiles, heat/pressure gradients, chemical byproducts, etc.
- The Big Bang was a singularity throughout all space at one point in time. Compare to a black hole, which is a singularity throughout all time at one point in space. The Big Bang was not an explosion in any scientifically meaningful sense. Cosmological expansion is not explosive in nature.
- Exactly how does disproving the Big Bang negate the thousands upon thousands of documented plant, animal, fungus, bacterial and fossil lineages people have described over the past one and a half centuries?

Fallacies contained in this claim
- Straw Man (Big Bang called an explosion)
- Exclusion (entropy balance and facts about explosions ignored)
- Argument from Ignorance (I can't imagine how the Big Bang could produce information; therefore it didn't happen.)
- Red Herring (the Big Bang has absolutely no direct relation to the Theory of Evolution)

- Red shift comes from light aging, not expansion of the universe
- Where did space, time, energy, and laws of physics come from?
- Big Bang has never been observed
