All the matter in the universe has always been there. It didn't come from anywhere, it was always there. Also, the big bang didn't start from something hitting it. It was due to the intense gravity causes by all the energy and matter in the universe clumped together.

I will, of course, at your request, cease with the short and stupid of it.
The things that you mention are not known factors as of this date. So one can only submit a theory as to the happenstance that you refer to.
A big bang. Nothing was inside of nothing and suddenly a big bang was heard and therefore, here we are. After that terrible explosion, all of the nothing that was there to begin with was fired out like, bats out of a hellish place. Spinning as they went because some of them had been knocked together with one spinning one way and the other the other way. Hence the answer to the spinning question. As was the rules and regulations at that time planets could not just pick and chose which moon to have so often a opposite spinner had to be taken, by default.
After came the ashes to ashes, dust to dust rule. And everything settled down for great period of time either 5 billion years or a shorter period depending on a view from this place and time that may or may not be believable, and still a timeframe did happen, to some degree.
And then the Sun was made hotter then anyone could hope for, even hotter then the old, firecracker, as the saying goes.
And as the Sun made light onto the earth and all other of the planets and moons, a life form came into being, either by a God giving or an evolutionist, depending on just what one may think of a past that may have been.
But you say that you know, so please correct my entry and assign an A, B,C, D, or F. Anyway it goes, I will not hold you in contempt either way. After all theories are for everyone to have one, am I not sure and correct? Thank You

The Big Bang is NOT Evolution. They are two entirely separate things. When you typed this question, did you not see the list of similar questions? It wasn't dust, it was a super dense bit of mostly energy. It's explosion was internal, not from anther source it was an inevitability from the amount of potential energ built up. With the massive energy release, the quarks started spinning in their own peculiar (pardon the pun) ways and the energy forced them together into electrons and protons. The sub-atomic forces took over that they fused releasing even more energy. This perpetuating release of energy formed the planets which spin in a orbit according to the masses (planets stars etc) that are near them. Some spin in opposite ways because of the electromagnetic and gravitational forces of the surrounding bodies. Same goes for the moons. Some of the moons, like our own, are born of the pieces left over from a collision with a massive comet. They spin the opposite way if the comet was or from the force of the impact. The origins of the super dense bit are being researched now. We are looking at the other end of black holes to see if the universe is in a cycle of stretching itself until it tears into black holes that condense the matter and energy into a dense bit of it all then the bit reaches a critical mass and explodes again. But, no, God didn't hit a switch.

First of all, evolution has nothing to do with cosmology. Evolution is a unifying theory of biology, and cosmology is a field of theoretical physics. Neither one has much to do with "dust".
At some point, there was a singularity. A singularity is something like a black hole -- the density of matter is such that the strong and weak atomic forces are reversed, if I understand it correctly. As far as physicists can tell, the universe more or less "blew up" from that singularity. That was the big bang.
It may well be that the universe exists alongside other universes, in something called a multiverse. Think about a single atom -- inside that atom, might be even more complex information we don't have access to. And the information in that atom doesn't have access to our universe either...
So the idea of "more matter" or "less matter" is subjective. The universe is big to us because of our size in relation to it.
What this question has to do with evolution, biology, or religion, I don't know.
The big bang, by the way, isn't speculation. It's a mathematical model that is consistent with all the data we have.

A: None of what you said has anything to do with evolution.
B: I think you are attempting to use this as an argument vs the scientific frame of mind on creation etc. BUT science will be the first people to tell you we dont have all the answers. BUT we are at least looking and notsufficing it to say,"Because the bible tells me so." We choose to try and use the mind that we were given or evolved. seem to recall a verse somewhere that says seek and ye shall find. Well were looking because the answers given us by MAN (The bible was written by man) were non sequitor.

To have a real educated clue you'll need to do a whole lot of reading on a plethora of scientific papers, textbooks and journals. This weeks New Scientist has an artical looking into triggers of the big bang.
Good luck in your quest for knowledge.
BTW after stating what you have and then claiming to know all of the answers, unless you are an incredible professor of physics, metaphysics, quantum physics & astronomy then you are just a rather ignorant person with very little clue of the bigger picture. (Like 99% of us, might I add..)

They're bringing out a film on Hawking's "A Brief History of Time". You can watch that. Or you could read the book.
But then again you say that you know - so you've no doubt read it already.

In biology, evolution is the change in a population's inherited characteristics, or traits, from generation to generation. The information used by the organism to produce these traits is stored on a complex molecule known as DNA. Smaller parts of this molecule that hold the information for one or more of its functions are known as genes. During reproduction, these genes are copied and passed on to the offspring. Random changes in these genes can produce new or altered traits, resulting in differences between organisms. Evolution then occurs when these modified genes become more common or rarer within a population. This happens through a mixture of the random changes of genetic drift and the more deterministic changes of natural selection, which are based on the reproductive value of the traits produced by the interaction of genes. Which process dominates depends on the effective population size, with smaller populations tending to be more influenced by the random variation of genetic drift, and the relative difference in reproductive success betwween competing genes, which determines how strongly natural selection acts on them.
Under natural selection, organisms with traits that help them to survive and reproduce tend to have more offspring. In doing so, they pass more copies of inheritable beneficial traits on to the next generation. This leads to advantageous traits becoming more common in each generation, while disadvantageous traits become rarer.[1][2][3] As these small improvements accumulate over time, large changes can happen to the organism as a whole, adapting it more and more to its environment and ecological niche.[4] The element of random chance in what mutations arise and which ones survive, as well as differences in environment, can cause different populations (or parts of populations) to begin to develop different strategies for survival, which can eventually cause the species to split, creating two species where one was before. All known species are descended from a single ancestor through this process of divergence.[1][5][6]
The theory of evolution by natural selection was first put forth in detail in Charles Darwin's 1859 book On the Origin of Species. In the 1930s, Darwinian natural selection was combined with Mendelian inheritance to form the modern evolutionary synthesis.[4] With its enormous explanatory and predictive power, this theory has become the central organizing principle of modern biology, providing a unifying explanation for the diversity of life on Earth.
In physical cosmology, the Big Bang is the scientific theory that the universe emerged from a tremendously dense and hot state about 13.7 billion years ago. The theory is based on the observations indicating the expansion of space in accord with the Robertson-Walker model of general relativity, as indicated by the Hubble redshift of distant galaxies taken together with the cosmological principle.
Extrapolated into the past, these observations show that the universe has expanded from a state in which all the matter and energy in the universe was at an immense temperature and density. Physicists do not widely agree on what happened before this, although general relativity predicts a gravitational singularity.
The term Big Bang is used both in a narrow sense to refer to a point in time when the observed expansion of the universe (Hubble's law) began — calculated to be 13.7 billion (1.37 à 1010) years ago (± 2%) — and in a more general sense to refer to the prevailing cosmological paradigm explaining the origin and expansion of the universe, as well as the composition of primordial matter through nucleosynthesis as predicted by the Alpher-Bethe-Gamow theory.[1]
From this model, George Gamow was able to predict in 1948 the existence of cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB).[2] The CMB was discovered in 1964[3] and corroborated the Big Bang theory, giving it more credence over its chief rival, the steady state theory.

CREATION OF THE UNIVERSE:This is what Islam Has to Say
‘THE BIG BANG’
The creation of the universe is explained by
astrophysicists as a widely accepted phenomenon,
popularly known as ‘The Big Bang’. It is supported
by observational and experimental data gathered by
astronomers and astrophysicists for decades.
According to ‘The Big Bang’, the whole universe was
initially one big mass (Primary Nebula). Then there
was a ‘Big Bang’ (Secondary Separation) which
resulted in the formation of Galaxies. These then
divided to form stars, planets, the sun, the moon,
etc. The origin of the universe was unique and the
probability of it happening by ‘chance’ is nil.
The Qur’an contains the following verse regarding
the origin of the universe:
“Do not the Unbelievers see
that the heavens and the earth
were joined together (as one
unit of Creation), before
We clove them asunder?”
[Al-Qu’ran 21:30]
The striking similarity between the Qur’anic verse
and ‘The Big Bang’ is inescapable! How could a book,
which first appeared in the deserts of Arabia 1400
years ago, contaiINITIAL GASEOUS MASS BEFORE
CREATION OF GALAXIES
Scientists agree that before the galaxies in the
universe were formed, celestial matter was
initially in the form of gaseous matter. In short,
huge gaseous matter or clouds were present
before the formation of the galaxies. To describe
initial celestial matter, the word ‘smoke’ is more
appropriate than gas. The following Qur’anic verse
refers to this state of the universe by the word
dukhaan which means smoke.
“Moreover, He Comprehended
in His design the sky,
and it had been (as) smoke:
He said to it and to the earth:
‘Come ye together,
willingly or unwillingly.’
They said: ‘We do come (together),
in willing obedience.’”
[Al-Qur’an 41:11]
Again, this fact is a corollary to the ‘Big Bang’ and
was not known to anyone before the prophetehood of
Muhammad (Peace be upon him)1. What then, could
have been theSHAPE OF THE EARTH IS SPHERICAL
In early times, people believed that the earth was
flat. For centuries, men were afraid to venture out
too far, for fear of falling off the edge! Sir Francis
Drake was the first person who proved that the
earth is spherical when he sailed around it in 1597.
Consider the following Qur’anic verse regarding the
alternation of day and night:
“Seest thou not that Allah
merges Night into Day
and He merges Day into Night?”
[Al-Qur’an 31:29]
Merging here means that the night slowly and
gradually changes to day and vice versa. This
phenomenon can only take place if the earth is
spherical. If the earth was flat, there would have
been a sudden change from night to day and from
day to night.
The following verse also alludes to the spherical
shape of the earth:
“He created the heavens and
the earth in true (proportions):
He makes the Night
overlap thand the Day
overlap the Night.”
[Al-Qur’an 39:5]
The Arabic word used here is Kawwara meaning
‘to overlap’ or ‘to coil’– the way a turban is wound
around the head. The overlapping or coiling of the
day and night can only take place if the earth is
spherical.
The earth is not exactly round like a ball, but
geo-spherical, i.e. it is flattened at the poles. The
following verse contains a description of the earth’s
shape:
“And the earth, moreover,
hath He made egg shaped.”
[Al-Qur’an 79:30]
The Arabic word for egg here is dahaahaa1 which
means an ostrich-egg. The shape of an ostrich-egg
resembles the geo-spherical shape of the earth.
Thus the Qur’an correctly describes the shape of the
earth, though the prevalent notion when the Qur’an
was revealed was that the earth was flat
MOONLIGHT IS REFLECTED LIGHT
It was believed by earlier civilizations that the moon
emanates its own light. Science now tells us
the light of the moon is reflected light. However
this fact was mentioned in the Qur’an 1,400 years
ago in the following verse:
“Blessed is He Who made
Constellations in the skies,
and placed therein a Lamp
and a Moon giving light.”
[Al-Qur’an 25:61]
The Arabic word for the sun in the Qur’an, is shams.
It is also referred to as siraaj which means a ‘torch’
or as wahhaaj meaning ‘a blazing lamp’ or as diya
which means ‘shining glory’. All three descriptions
are appropriate to the sun, since it generates
intense heat and light by its internal combustion.
The Arabic word for the moon is qamar and it
is described in the Qur’an as muneer which is a
body that gives noor i.e. reflected light. Again, the
Qur’anic description matches perfectly with the true
nature of the moon which does not give off light by
itself and is an inactive body that reflects the light
of the sun. Not once in the Qur’an, is the moon
mentioned as siraaj, wahhaaj or diya nor the sun as
noor or muneer. This implies that the Qur’an
recognizes the difference between the nature of
sunlight and moonlight.
The following verses relate to the nature of light
from the sun and the moon
“It is He who made the sun
to be a shining glory
and the moon to be a light
(of beauty).”
[Al-Qur’an 10:5]
“See ye not
how Allah has created
the seven heavens
one above another,
“And made the moon
a light in their midst,
and made the sun
as a (Glorious) Lamp?”
[Al-Qur’an 71:15-16]
The Glorious Qur'an and modern science, are thus
in perfect agreement about the differences in the
nature of sunlight and moonlight.
THE SUN ROTATES
For a long time European philosophers and scientists
believed that the earth stood still in the centre of the
universe and every other body including the sun
moved around it. In the West, this geocentric concept
of the universe was prevalent right from the time of
Ptolemy in the second century B.C. In 1512, Nicholas
Copernicus put forward his Heliocentric Theory of
Planetary Motion, which asserted that the sun is
motionless at the centre of the solar system with the
planets revolving around it.
In 1609, the German scientist Yohannus Keppler
published the ‘Astronomia Nova’. In this he
concluded that not only do the planets move in
elliptical orbits around the sun, they also rotate
upon their axes at irregular speeds. With this
knowledge it became possible for European scientists
to explain correctly many of the mechanisms of the
solar system, including the sequence of night and
day.
After these discoveries, it was thought that the Sun
was stationary and did not rotate about its axis like
the Earth. I remember having studied this fallacy
from Geography books during my school days.
Consider the following Qur’anic verse:
“It is He Who created
the Night and the Day,
and the sun and the moon:
All (the celestial bodies)
swim along, each in its
rounded course.”
[Al-Qur’an 21:33]
The Arabic word used in the above verse is
yasbahoon . This word is derived from the word
sabaha. It carries with it the idea of motion that
comes from any moving body. If you use this word
for a person on the ground, it would not mean that
he is rolling but would imply that he is walking or
running. If you use this word for a person in water,
it would not mean that he is floating but would
imply that he is swimming.
Similarly, if you use the word yasbah for a celestial
body such as the sun, it would not only mean that it
is flying through space but would also mean that it
is rotating as it goes through space. Most school
textbooks have now incorporated the fact that the
sun rotates about its axis. The rotation of the sun
about its own axis can be proved with the help of an
equipment that projects the image of the sun on the
top of a table, so that one can examine the image of
the sun without being blinded. It is noticed that the
sun has spots which complete a circular motion once
every 25 days i.e. the sun takes approximately 25
days to rotate round its axis.
The sun travels through space at roughly 240 km
per second, and takes about 200 million years to
complete one revolution around the centre of our
Milky Way Galaxy.
“It is not permitted
to the Sun to catch up the Moon,
nor can the Night outstrip the Day:
Each (just) swims along
in (its own) orbit
(according to Law).”
[Al-Qur’an 36:40]
This verse mentions an essential fact discovered
only recently by modern astronomy, i.e. the
existence of the individual orbits of the Sun and the
Moon, and their journey through space with their
own motion.
The ‘fixed place’ towards which the sun travels,
carrying with it the solar system, has been located
preirsely by modern astronomy. It has been given a
name, the Solar Apex. The solar system is indeed
moving in space towards a point situated in the
constellation of Hercules (alpha Lyrae) whose exact
location is now firmly established.
The moon rotates around its axis in the same
duration that it takes to revolve around the earth.
It takes approximately 29½ days to complete one
rotation.
One cannot help but be amazed at the scientific
accuracy of the Qur’anic verses. Should we not
ponder over the question: “What is the source of
knowledge contained in the Qur’an?”
THE SUN WILL EXTINGUISH
The light of the sun is due to a chemical process on
its surface that has been taking place continuously
for the past five billion years. It will come to an end
at some point of time in the future, when the sun
will be totally extinguished, leading to extinction of
all life on earth. Regarding the impermanence of the
sun’s existence, the Qur’an says:
“And the Sun runs its course
for a period determined
for it; that is
the decree of (Him)
the exalted in Might,
the All-Knowing.”
[Al-Qur’an 36:38]1
The Arabic word used here is mustaqarr, which
means a place or time that is determined. Thus the
Qur’an says that the sun runs towards a determined
place, and will do so only up to a pre-determined
period of time – meaning that it will end or
extinguish.
INTERSTELLAR MATTER
Space outside organized astronomical systems was
earlier assumed to be a vacuum. Astrophysicists
later discovered the presence of bridges of matter
in this interstellar space. These bridges of matter
are called plasma, and consist of completely ionized
gas containing equal number of free electrons and
positive ions. Plasma is sometimes called the fourth
state of matter (besides the three known states
viz. solid, liquid and gas). The Qur’an refers to
the presence of this interstellar material in the
following verse:
“He Who created the heavens
and the earth and all
that is between.”
[Al-Qur’an 25:59]
It would be ridiculous for anyone to even suggest
that the presence of interstellar galactic material
was known 1400 years ago!
THE EXPANDING UNIVERSE
In 1925, American astronomer Edwin Hubble,
provided observational evidence that all galaxies
are moving away from one another, which implies
that the universe is expanding. The expansion of the
universe is now an established scientific fact. This is
what the Qur’an says regarding the nature of the
universe:
“With power and skill
did We construct
the Firmament:
For it is We Who create
the vastness of Space.”
[Al-Qur’an 51:47]
The Arabic word musioon is correctly translated as
‘expanding it’, and it refers to the creation of the
expanding vastness of the universe.
One of the greatest astrophysicist Stephen
Hawking, in his book, ‘A Brief History of Time’,
says, “The discovery that the universe is expanding
was one of the great intellectual revolutions of the
20th century.” The Qur’an mentioned the expansion
of the universe, before man even learnt to build a
telescope!
Some may say that the presence of astronomical
facts in the Qur’an is not surprising since the Arabs
were advanced in the field of astronomy. They are
correct in acknowledging the advancement of the
Arabs in the field of astronomy. However they fail
to realize that the Qur’an was revealed centuries
before the Arabs excelled in astronomy. Moreover
many of the scientific facts mentioned above, such
as the origin of the universe with a Big Bang, were
not known to the Arabs even at the peak of their
scientific advancement. The scientific facts
mentioned in the Qur’an are therefore not due to the
Arabs’ advancement in astronomy. Indeed, the
reverse is true: they advanced in astronomy,
because astronomy occupies a place in the Qur’an.
All this information is found in The holy Quran !400 years ago
who could have Revealed this to the prophet Muhammad if
not the creator himself?
