This is a crazy Kent Hovind argument.
quote:
If there was a Big Bang of when the matter was spinning impossibly fast then blew up the everythin in the universe MUST spin in the exact same direction, but this is not aparent as even in our own solar system there are two planets that spin backwards there are ven entire galaxies that spin backwards, how is this possible according to Cosmology Evolution
No informed creationist uses this argument. No informed person claims that the Big Bang involved matter "spinning impossibly fast" that "blew up". Kent Hovind appears to have made that idea up.
More importantly, there are 9 billion years between the Big Bang and the formation of our solar system. The direction of the orbits of the planets about the sun has to do with that formation, not with the Big Bang itself. Although the galaxies are older the same may be said for them. The argument is simply nonsense.
All you have shown is that you are woefully misinformed.

I'd suggest an introductory book, laying out the history of the universe, as seen by science, from the Big Bang ay least to the formation of the solar system. Most of the books I am familiar with would be more advanced than that. Even the Wikipedia article recommended by Huntard is a bit more detailed than I would suggest at this point.
We have a forum, "The Book Nook" which might be appropriate to discuss this. Perhaps if you proposed a topic asking for recommendations there you might get some ideas.
