I was in the military and have seen various explosions, but generally there are no spherical shapes created. What would be the mathematical probability that a cosmic explosion would create so many beautifully spherical shapes?

a sphere has the least surface area for a given volume. Liquids get to spherical shapes pretty easily. Look at the average temperature of the materials making up the earth and it's basically liquid (sure, it's got a crust but dig down and it's hot enough to undergo plastic deformations)

First off, thanks for serving.

Second, just because you love God, doesn't mean you need to hate science. The "beautifully spherical shapes" were created in LONG processes way after the Big Bang. In fact, there have been many stars that have come and gone already, creating black holes (which don't seem to have much of an intelligent design to them). Other people know more about gravity than I do (may i suggest the astrophysics section?).

Also, interestingly enough, i believe the earth isn't exactly a sphere. It's a little oblong due to electromagnetivity or something. Cool huh?

The big bang explosion... the magnitude of which is beyond the comprehension of human beings is so massive that it sends all souls atmans hurtling all over the Cosmos at speeds unbelievable. These massive speeds create spherical shapes out of nowhere as the continuous churning of matter always ends in spherical ball like structures all over.

This is necessitated from the fact that the balance in the Cosmos is to be maintained at all costs. This churning material ultimately develops a gravitational pull that results in spherical ball like structures. The ultimate structure of the Cosmos always remains beyond the comprehension of most human beings. It is only science that can slowly give a glimpse of behind the curtain happenings.

All souls atmans when they do not get matching parents on Mother Earth hibernate in heaven or hell. Heaven is located in the core (center) of the sun where temperatures exceed millions of degrees centigrade. It is in such temperatures when the souls revolve... the cosmic structures get their spherical shapes.

In bomb explosions... the gravitational pull is minimal and practically immaterial. No bomb on Mother Earth has a gravitational pull greater than the gravitational pull of planet Earth. The explosion of a bomb can not be compared with cosmic explosions that results in formation of stars and planets. More on Big Bang theory - http://www.godrealized.com/bigbangtheory.html

It;s all about power the more power full the explosion the more spherical shapes so with a cosmic explosion the chances of spherical shapes created would in my mind be greater than average par-say about 24 billion to 1 chance of you seeing it

Why do you refer to the "Big Bang" as an explosion? Are explosions the only thing that go "Bang!"?

The understanding I have of the Big Bang Theory is that it was what amounted to a rip or tear in the fabric of the Space/Time continuum. What burst out through the tear was not galaxies, stars, planets,etc., it was energy which vibrated at different frequencies, and had the potential to join together to form fields of energy, which could join together with other fields of energy and eventually become the objects we see in the Universe.

It's sort of like if you suspended a sack of flour on a rope and then cut a hole in it; what would come out would not be cakes, pies, or bread, it would be flour, which has the potential of combining with other ingredients to become those things.

The answer is, gravity.

On the surface of this planet, which is presumably where you witnessed these many explosions, you are standing on top of a very big gravity well. That interferes with the production of round shapes.

In the absence of such a gravity well, surface tension will make a sphere out of anything fluid (water in free-fall, IE rain, is round). Once the objects start to clump together, they are pulled to their own gravity center. Center being the key word there. The heavier stuff makes for the center and the pull is even in all directions radially forcing thing into a round shape like the stars planets and larger moons.

That's not the big bang. Gravity causes matter to form a spherical shape if you have enough of it. It collapses under it's own gravity.

And the big bang wasn't an explosion. It was an expansion. Like the difference between blowing up a balloon and popping one.

Besides, planets and stars were not created in the big bang. It took billions of years to get to that point. We didn't even have ordinary atoms until about 10,000 years after the big bang.

Take a flight on the space shuttle some time. Empty a glass of water when you're in zero G. EVERY part of EVERY liquid whether it's coca cola or molten rock or liquified metal is spherical in zero G. Space also happens to be a primary source for zero G, coincidently. Did they teach you NOTHING in high school?

Loose matter floating around is space will tend to coalesce into larger masses due to simple gravitational attraction. Until there is enough mass to compress the center into a single mass, gravity will tend to spread everything out as evenly as possible. The most natural result of this process (especially where gases are concerned) would be a spere.

This is simple Newtonian physics, and not really in dispute here in R&S. The cause of the Big Bang, however, is definitely still the subject of debate.

You are on Earth. Gravity would effect the shape of shrapnel, but before it splatters, it probably was spherical. In space there is no gravity. In science experiments, you would realize that in weightlessness, spherical shapes are the perfect symmetrical objects.
