The claim that the Big Bang has
created through evolution the Universe out of Nothing it is not exactly trivial.
1. Nobody has shown any serious evidences so far that Big Bang can exist in the physical world, can create 3D space through explosion, etc.
2. A theory that is in contradiction with 90% of the laws of physics and 99% of the math laws of probability and math logic, could be called everything else but
trivial.
3. The very term
creation through evolution is contradiction in the self, and any concept which refers to it is untenable.
4. The act of creation of conscience out of star dust or whatever, and DNA sequence out of changes in the weather is by itself super-extraordinary and requires extraordinary and
direct evidences.
5. The existence of intelligence in the Universe is not extraordinary claim for we have at least one instance of it - our own intelligence. Extraordinary is to claim that this is a stochastic event and that it can happen anywhere in the Universe ... without any evidences.
6. The claim that we are in the center of the Universe (the red shift is equal in all directions) is also extraordinary ... and needs extraordinary evidences (different from the shift in the light spectrum).
7. The claim that the SS is 4.8 billion years, the Universe is 13.68 billion years (everywhere), and that the Big Bang is creating the 3D space along the edges at present is not only extraordinary - it is mind blowing, and has to find out some extraordinary evidences that the Universe in its center (where we are right now) is 13.68 billion years (notwithstanding that the SS is 4.8 billion years, and there are no traces of something existing before that time), and along its edges is zero years old (just created).
