Just a quibble here, but an important one; the "Big Bang" was not an explosion. The phrase itself was popularized by Sir Fred Hoyle who didn't believe the universe had a beginning. Along with his astronomy, Sir Fred was a lover of the Vedic literature of India and of course the Hindu faith stated that there was no creation event; just Rama being and begetting over and over again. The phrase was coined and used at first by critics of the idea that there even was a Genesis-like beginning. Those who repeat that notion are in fact repeating an outdated atheistic argument; or an argument that was minted out of sympathies for non-Christian faiths.

The "Big Bang" event was an expansion or unfolding of space over time - something that continues to happen even as we speak. Space itself is expanding. This phenomenon is not analogous to an explosion where things are scattered randomly. In fact, the matter within that space is forming and interacting along very specific patterns. Thus the "walls" of galaxies in space are filaments of matter reaching out and clumping together like cobwebs, or human neurons, depending on how romantic you want to be.

The "Big Bang" might be better understood as the "Big Bloom," think of the way a flower's petals unfold.
