1) Where did the stuff come from in the first place?
2) How did it get packed into one spot?
3) What caused the Big Bang anyhow?
4) How come the 2nd law of thermodynamics is violated?
5) Since Gravitational force between objects is directly proportional to
mass of the objects and inversly proportional to the distance between
the objects, if all matter(therefore all mass) were concentrated at the
center wouldn't that make infinite gravity?
6) With infinite gravity how come the universe is expanding?
7) Is the universe expanding at a constant speed?
8) With all matter concentrated at one point, wouldn't the explosion
cause a uniform distribution of matter(relative to distance from center?
9) With the explosion of approx. infinite force matter leaving in
"straight lines" how could gravitational force overcome the inertia to
form objects that orbit other objects?
10) Since all matter was at the center of the universe before the Big
Bang and was scattered from that point, is there a hole in the center of
the universe?  If so will it suck everything back someday?
11) If this all happened so many billion years ago, how come the sun
hasn't burned out yet?

and so forth and so on.

Skip - we can talk about aging the earth too!
