Who said the big bang was the starting point? its more likely our universe is the result of two universe colliding...infinite space...energy cant be created or destroyed and all that jazz,theres infinites amount of universes.
So then how did we get all these elements?
In the early universe, as a result of the rapid collisions between particles, there was a state of thermal equilibrium. The reason this is so important is that things in thermal equilibrium can be quantified. This means that the system can be described by mathematical formulas, and that predictions can be made as to how the system would would change with time. Therefore, we can follow the evolution of the early universe through these formulas, even though we weren't there.
Up to this time (just over three minutes past the Beginning) there had been no nucleosynthesis. This was a result of the high energy density. In order to form atomic nuclei, the nucleons (the scientific word for protons and neutrons) must be able to collide and stick together. In the early universe the key reaction was the collision of a proton and a neutron to form a deuterium nucleus (an isotope of hydrogen). Collisions between protons and neutrons had been happening continuously since the Beginning, but their energies were too high to allow them to stick together to form deuterium nuclei.
This prevented further nuclear reactions leading to heavier nuclei. This type of situation where an intermediate product is the weak link in the overall synthesis is sometimes called a "bottleneck." This concept also applies in nucleosynthesis of heavier elements. Once the bottleneck is overcome, the remaining reactions are able to be completed. In the early universe, once the deuterium bottleneck was cleared, the newly formed deuterium could undergo further nuclear reactions to form Helium.
But, the remaining electrons still had plenty of energy, so it took about 700,000 years of cooling until this was able to occur. The capture of electrons to form atoms resulted in an important change in the universe. At that moment, without free electrons to interact with the photons present, the universe became transparent to radiation. This means that the photons were freely able to expand with the universe. These photons had high energies, which means that they had short wavelengths. But the expansion of the universe caused the wavelengths to get stretched out as the universe grew. These stretched out photon wavelengths are what we now refer to as the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). They are a leftover from the Big Bang. We have been able to measure the intensity of this background radiation, and it has closely matched that which is predicted from theoretical calculations. This has been a strong evidence in support of the "Big Bang" theory of the creation of the universe.

Try pushing your debunked evolution strategy on a legitimate scientist. They have not the time of day to listen to a child's rant. Try reading the literature of Darwin, or even go visit Galapagos island yourself. The proof is there.

Really? because scientists who believe this evolutino crap have debated the guy in this video, and have been left confused. But i'll tell u what, go watch part 3, and if it interests u watch all the parts. Its like 8 parts. And if not keep ur mouth shut because u havent seen the video and probably know nothing of what he will say. So watch it and then talk. Thanks...

My point is to say that God could use any of the theories we come up with to create the world. I think it's safe to say none of our observations (which is step #1 in science) can prove or disprove God, we have to experience for ourselves what the truth is.

Since you were so nasty towards me in your response, I would like to call you out on a sound clip, video, or even a name of one single scientist who was befuddled by a Christian disinformation propagandist.

Can you maybe point out what you find to be the more compelling points made in the video so we can rebut them more efficiently as opposed to us just ripping this up en mass?
come it's Kent Hovind the entire video is bunk.
Hovind has made controversial remarks regarding conspiracies, science, creation, equal rights, religion and government over the years. Hovind's creationist presentations have asserted that the reason biblical creationism is not taught in public schools was tied to "an international conspiracy" of "'The New World Order' (NWO) consisting of Ted Turner (and his wife, Jane Fonda), the British Royal Family, the State of Israel, the ACLU, and a smattering of former and present US government officials, business leaders, and social activists (particularly those advocating population control) -- shades of the Trilateral Commission."[83] In May 1999, he claimed "the implementation of the NWO's world-domination plan was May 5, 2000."
