How is it that at the center of the big bang as it is moving outward we at the same time have objects moving in the opposite direction?

Objects moving in orbits different than this outward movement. Not just on a flat plane, but some orbits moving in opposite directions.

If there was a big bang where did the matter come from before it banged? If this was the creation of the universe what is it expanding into?

A vacume is part of the universe, so if it was expanding into a vacume it was expanding into the universe, therefore it was being created in a medium that already existed. The matter that comprised the big bang was the universe before the creation of the universe in the big bang. Therefore it cound not have been created if it already existed.

Big Bang disproved by creationist! Scientific world in shock!

The killer question: "If this was the creation of the universe what is it expanding into?"

Stephen Hawking is quoted as saying: "I feel like I've wasted my life. I've been such a fool!"

There is no "center" of the big bang. It isn't an explosion; it's the expansion of space-time. The big bang occurred everywhere. The matter derived from the energy of the big bang (the two are equivalent). Science is currently speculative as to the source of the energy. One possibility is that the negative gravitational energy of the universe precisely cancels the positive energy of the matter plus radiation in the universe meaning that there was no energy actually created in the big bang. (zero total energy before and after) Similar to the question of the origin of life WRT evolution, the origin of this energy is immaterial. The big bang attempts to describe the development of the early universe after the expansion of space-time began. It doesn't cover why it occurred or where the energy came from, etc.
