It's estimated that UY Canis Majoris would fill the orbit of Jupiter and that UY Scuti might fill the orbit of Saturn. So we know that hydrogen balls can grow to those sizes but it's an entirely different thing to think that a hydrogen ball could ever grow large enough to make the entire universe.
A much better theory is that quantum foam creates particles that eventually morph into hydrogen atoms that clump together into giant balls that eventually go nuclear and form stars. Eventually planets are created and the planetary processes also create elements and, under the right conditions, even life.
We can actually see the star formation process happening throughout space. If everything came from the Big Bang then everything would be about the same age.
While everything evolves all animal life forms follow the basic blueprint. So their essential structure is the same as it has always been. Humans, pigs, dogs, horses, and gorillas pretty much have all of the same body parts in pretty much the same order.
I wasn't trying to fully explain the BBT. Do you really think that, if she can't envision how the hydrogen could go on to form heavier elements, it was because I failed to start with the detail of quantum physics?
None of the rest of that about large balls of hydrogen or things being the same age has anything to do with what I said.

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
