Some critics say that the formation of stars and galaxies violates the law of entropy, which suggests systems of change become less organized over time. Some astrophysicists and cosmologists argue that scientists have misinterpreted evidence like the redshift of celestial bodies and the cosmic microwave background radiation. Some cite the absence of exotic cosmic bodies that should have been the product of the big bang according to the theory. The early inflationary period of the big bang appears to violate the rule that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light
So everyone that thinks the Universe didn't perfectly form from one big explosion finds scientific answers evil or scary?
The big bang suggests that the universe began out of a singularity.
And the formation of stars, galaxies and anything else complex does not violate the law of entropy. There can be periods of building and organizing into more complex stages as long as the system overall heads towards entropy....which it does. Stars and galaxies are formed, have "lifespans" and die, at which point they become less complex. This has been put forward to creationists time and again, yet they keep trying to claim there is a violation of the law of entropy. They simply try to make you look at the system over a small window rather than looking at the true system as a whole.
Red shift has never been mistaken, nor misinterpreted. It is simply a variation of the Doppler effect which is both well documented and well understood.
What is still under debate about the big bang theory is that there are still missing pieces to be accounted for. Things like dark matter and dark energy could account for some of the missing pieces. We just don't understand them yet. But that doesn't mean they don't exist, or that the theory has been disproven, it merely means we don't have all the evidence sorted out yet.
