If the big bang were true, then how do you explain the Conservation Law of Angular Momentum?
When 8 of th 91 moons spin backwards? How about the two planets? Why do they spin backwards?
I have more questions:

In the big bang the little piece of matter spun and blew up.... if this were true then all of the planets would being spinning the same direction wouldn't they?

Yes but when it first happened there would have been no friction or anything in the way to stop this from happening. And so you are saying that since they orbit in the same direction but spin makes no difference, it contradicts
And what about Pluto? It spins in another oribit than we do....
what about the spiral glaxies? They keep expanding correct? So at the rate they are going they should no longer be a spiral shape, yet the are? How is this?

Do you have a point to this question? What does the big bang theory of cosmogenesis have to do with the angular momenta of the planets?
Edit: uh, no. Angular momentum is conserved overall. That's no reason that certain objects, after colliding with others, can't end up spinning "against the grain."
Even so, your question is about the origin of the solar system, not the big bang.
If you have real questions, post them. If they're just stupid propaganda from creationist websites, go post them in Religion and Spirituality where ignorant people can use them to go off on how science is a tool of the devil.

OK - see here dudman,
The Big Bang is real. The Conservation Law of Angular Momentum has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the Big Bang. Let 8 moons spin backwards. Big deal. The planet caught the moons when they were spinning at another direction. Let Venus and Uranus spin backwards - same with the moons.
Get a life - the big bang is real.

Big Bang and angular momentum are not the same thing.
The conservation of angular momentum does not demand that everything spin in the same direction. Achange in spin in one object must be compensated by an opposite change in spin in one or more other objects. Moons and planets with retrograde rotation are not in "violation" because the status of bodies in the early Solar System can account for the compensating spin.
Also, "backwards" is meaningless. There is no preferred direction in space, only conventions based on point of reference.
Maybe you should take it over to the religion forum.

Angular momentum? moons spinning backwards? how does all that go against big bang theory? I think you should first understand that big bang was not a conventional explosion, but rather, an expansion of spacetime itself. nothing exploded, space expanded. and the motion of planets and moons are not a direct result of the big bang... its simply due to their interaction with other large objects or the way they were born. also, the number of spiral galaxies are decreasing. they are merging together to form giant elliptical galaxies. infact, the furthur the scientists look back in time towards the big bang, the more spiral galaxies they see (galactic evolution).

The Creation of the Universe was a large event. You could say it came in as a bang. Neverthe less no one really knows how the Universe was created by what process. The atoms structures are too complex to determine how the formation took place and the Galaxies so well arranged as islands unto themselves.
So when people believe in a very primitive model of Creation Such as the Big Bang theory it just like quantum mechanics;when you think you have graspped the subject you nreally have not Understood it(Niels Bohr)
The conservation law only apply to conservative systems and that includes conservation of time,conservation of angular momentum ,conservation of power ,etc...However
In the pratical Universe the conservation laws change to obey the law of thermodynamics.

Have you ever seen an explosion. It's not very organized or homogenious. Think of what happens in water when you drop a huge rock in. There are thousands of edies spinning in every dirrection.
There have been three major experiments that have confirmed the Big Bang theory. This does not make it a fact but pretty close to it.

I reckon theres about as much proof that jesus was in some place in israel 2000 years ago and courting a lady called mary as there is in the big bang theory.

You should try reading some science. A good place to start would be here: Evidence for the Big Bang

I see no connection between the big bang and conservation of angular momentum or the rotation of planets.
But if you don't like the big bang, see the source. This guy really knows his stuff and he does make many good points.

Answers;
Go back and hit the physics books s'more, dude.
