I already gave my evidence as to why big things don't just bang. To me it makes sense. What is it you need?

You made an assumption about the big bang and used gasoline as an analogy. You make another assumption that "god" caused it. Assumptions aren't evidence, they're hypotheses.

When will people wake up from their stupid delusions. Go an read The Greatest Show on Earth by Richard Dawkins. Inspire your mind with something intelligent and worthwhile for once.
Religion is the cancer of mankind. Move along.

without hypotheses the scientific method is moot so assumptions are a lot more important than one might think.

The scientific method also requires evidence, testing, reproducibility, falsification, etc. How is this possible with your hypothesis?

evidence: things don't just explode randomly

The solar system is sufficient. It is a complex system. You say all complex systems imply design. Using the solar system as the example, prove it was designed.

You ARE making that claim! You are too blinded by your pre-planned argument that you use on religious people that you can't see the inverse of what you are saying. Claiming that there is no prime mover means you are making the reverse claim. You have no evidence. You just demand it from me and ignore it when I point it out to you.
Again it's about awareness, but I don't think you are really paying attention to what I'm saying. You are locked in and that's not likely to change.
I neither claimed that there is no prime mover or that nothing started the universe. Those are your faulty assumptions. YOU have made claims that are extraordinary and cannot seem to support them. That's your problem. Don't ask me for evidence to support claims I never made. Instead, support your own claims for the gazillionth time.

Name one then, and don't say the solar system. You don't have evidence for there NOT being a designer anymore than I can fly you to NYC to have drinks with me and the creator. Your hypocrisy is astounding and your inability to see it is amazing.

I know of nobody that has ever claimed that the big bang was a random explosion. We may not yet know what caused it, but a claim that a god caused it is unsupported and untestable. Let's reverse things. Why would a god randomly decide to cause a huge explosion?

Now, back to my initial paragraph. I've shown you why I believe that the solar system, indeed ALL solar systems, are not random occurences. Now it's your turn. Show me why you believe the LACK of entropy implies randomness in celestial mechanics.
