Lets say the “Big Bang” really happened and all the matter in the universe got squished into one tiny dot smaller than a period, then that one tiny dot began spinning, and then BOOM the big bang occurred.
Lets say that the one tiny dot was spinning counterclockwise, so when the big bang occurred everything that went spinning off into space should be spinning counterclockwise, right? Well if the big bang happened, why is Uranus, Venus (below), and even whole galaxies spinning backwards?
“Most of the planets spin in the same direction as they orbit around the Sun. (The direction is counterclockwise as seen from above their north poles.)… Venus, however, is a clear exception to this regularity. Its axis is tilted by less than five degrees, and yet it is spinning ‘backwards’: clockwise as seen from above its north pole.”
What made the matter expand and form everything we have today?
Why did the matter start spinning in the first place?
Why did it form a sun?
How did earth get in just the right position so that the temperature wouldn’t be freezing, and that it wouldn’t be boiling hot either?
If life can’t come from nonliving material, how did it come from dirt (or whatever the “matter” was)?
How was water formed?
Where did the matter come from?
How were all the elements formed?

Honestly, have you even tried to find the answers to these questions? Try putting ‘venus rotation opposite’ into google and the first sites that come up will give you your answer.
The rest are basic physics which you can easily find on google. So are you honestly looking for answers or just throwing out questions for no apparent reason?

Joe,
I visited Matt’s Notepad, which focuses on “ATHEISM, Education, Comics, Dr. Who and more.” Needless to say, you won’t find any ally in Matt.
Interestingly, Matt’s blog is about all that is wrong with the governmental education system – it is run by comic figures that have dumbed down education to such an extent that intelligent inquiry and dissent from the “party line” are not tolerated. Even Matt’s comment is somewhat comical, as he states un-categorically that a Google link will “give you your answer.” Not so – the link will provide you an unproven theory. Hey, but what stops atheists from believing theories as facts? Absolutely nothing – it’s called FAITH – the same thing the atheists condemn in Christians.
And we are supposed to believe atheistic self-description as thinking, why?

“So are you honestly looking for answers or just throwing out questions for no apparent reason?”
I’m looking for what the evolutionists have to say about these things, because I’m trying to understand the thinking behind your science.
“Try putting ‘venus rotation opposite’ into google and the first sites that come up will give you your answer.”
I took your suggestion and looked up “venus rotation opposite.” The first thing I came across was this article. Which I quote from,
“A planet like Venus probably got to be it’s present size from the collision of smaller ‘planets’. The last two small planets to collide in forming the planets we see today determine it is rotation by how they happen to hit each other.”
When two things collide they are going to bust and break apart. So Venus should be in a million pieces right now.
You didn’t say anything about the whole galaxy spinning backwards.:-)

If you really wanted the scientific answer to these questions you’d just look them up.
But instead you disingenuously post them in your blog as if they prove some kind of point.
I am not even sure what the “whole galaxy spinning backwards” even means. Can you explain? backwards to what?

Go here and you will see.

A possible explanation is given on that page, that galaxy recently collided with another.
The only reason it is “backwards” is because it is turning with its outer arms facing the wrong way, not because there is a universal “forwards” way it should be spinning. I’d have to say you’ve blown that one quite a bit out of proportion.
