plain talk, no it isn't. Explosions normally spew out debris non-uniformly because of (a) non-uniformity in the original explosing mass, and/or (b) differences in the surrounding environment that affect the path of the exploding mass. But that wouln't apply to a singularity, which by definition, would be homogenous and without an "environment."

I am no phyicist but I know that neither you or I know the structure of this so called singularity and whether IT was homogenous or not at a sub-atomic level prior to the big bang. The concept of the big bang producing an explosion where matter was not spread uniformly is perfectly consistent with what we have observed and makes complete sense. The particles flying out of the big bang explosion could have had different velcoities so that any initial uniformity quickly degraded into non-uniformity etc Not sure why you are homing in on this particular point anyway.
