You are assuming that the scientific theory of the Big Bang is correct. It is only a theory. And since God, by definition and scriptural reputation, obeys physical laws (although he probably has a lot of insights we haven't discovered yet), He very likely observes the laws of conservation of energy and matter.

Moreover, the other assumption the "creation out of nothing" crowd makes is that this world is the only creation. It is clearly not. Worlds without number have been created by God and His Christ. Therefore, God clearly would not have been creating a Universe out of nothing every time he created a new populated world. Instead, he organizes the elements to bring a new star into proper position with the requisite planetary objects.

Don't believe me? Then explain the creation of stars in the W5 nebula, in the constellation Casseopia, that were created at the same time, 7000 years ago, as our own earth was purportedly created. Those stars, contemporaries of our own system were not created out of nothing. QED.

It is a theory supported by long-range observations. Keep in mind that it takes time for light to travel so when you look at objects far away it is kind of like looking back in time.

I do not find anywhere in the Scriptures that G-d is bound by physical laws. Where did you get this information?

> Worlds without number have been created by G-d ...

Do you mean many planets/start systems or many Universes? Many planets yes, many stars obviously, but many Universes? How would you know this?

> Then explain the creation of stars in the W5 nebula

I don’t get your point. We can observe the creation of stars in W5 nebula. Once the Universe has been created there is material to create stars, so the starts get created. If you are into astronomy this must be very exciting, but I don’t get how it says anything about the Big Bang or the Creation?

P.S. I’ve edited your post to obscure the Name. If you read the Scriptures you should know that it is forbidden to deface the Name of G-d. By writing the Name (even into an electronic medium) you are giving someone an opportunity to print out the post and to damage the paper with the Name on it. Thereby you become partly responsible for a grave sin.
