Do you really think that's what he was saying, des? He was saying that
you do not understand it. Go and re-read the post.

That is not supporting evidence for the big bang idea.
No, but the expansion of the universe
is. Do some research about it. Look up 'Hubble Expansion' and 'Red Shift' in any encyclopedia (or on Google for that matter). Read what secular science has to say. Then go read what creationists have to say if you want to, but try to at least understand what the scientists are saying and why they are saying it.
In a nutshell: The evidence is unmistakable that all of the galaxies of the universe are moving away from one another, all from one central point. As an object moves away from us, its color shifts to the red end of the spectrum. This shift is undetectable except by very sensitive instruments. By measuring the red shift, we are able to determine how far objects in space are from us and in which direction, relative to other objects, they are moving. When the universe is viewed with this in mind, it becomes unmistakable that everything is moving away from one central point, thus there must have been some sort of explosion, or 'bang', at that central point many billions of years ago.
Understand also that the science behind the big bang, particularly in regards to the above-mentioned 'red shift', is the same science that gives us doppler radar. If the evidence for big bang were faulty then doppler radar wouldn't work. Doppler radar has helped tremendously in reducing the number of deaths and serious injuries from tornadoes and other storms. It works on the same principle that allows us to see that the universe is expanding.
