The idea of all the matter in the universe being compressed to a singularity that somehow did not collapse into a black hole from which no matter could escape was always completely ABSURD........
Just ask the nearest cosmologist what happened 1 minute or 1 second BEFORE the so called ‘Big Bang’. They have no answer.
They have all kinds of ‘answers’ for what happened every nanosecond AFTER the Big Bang, but absolutely NONE for BEFORE................................

Well some might hypothesize that time came into creation after the “Big Bang”. But that is also absurd, since without time, there can be no change, and without change, everything must still be in that singularity.
But the real problem with this scenario is that in order to explain how the matter could be compressed to such a small space and still escape, they have to dispense with gravity and other physical laws. “The laws of physics were different in the first tiny interval of time after the Big Bag”, they will say. However, this violates the assumption of uniformitarianism that underlies all speculative, historical science. Once you dispense with that, you cannot even hypothesize as to how the Earth came into existence, much less how the universe did. And you can’t simply dispense with it when it’s not convenient for your theory. Once the laws of physics can vary with time, then you must prove that they did not change at any point in history that you want to speculate about, which is impossible.
My thinking exactly.
