Pow! Zap! (Big) Bang?! (Introduction)

Please be more specific
 
I can be very specific, but your list of objections suggest that you have no knowledge of the proposed BB theory.

• It violates the laws of physics, requiring that something came from nothing.
 
To quote Guth: No one has any idea of what went bang. He does not imply nothing.

First there was plasma! Hydrogen an Helium and a little Lithium come later.

Thus, the universe would not have formed as all matter would still be traveling in a straight line.
 
We are discussing plasma.

The expansion was not entirely uniform, clumping the gases as they appeared, when plasma cooled. But the universe is 'uniform' over massive distances. How would you form stars?

Again theory. A slight bit more matter than antimatter, and what we see now is the difference.

There are valid reasons to question the BBT, namely, it does not fit the observed data without inventing untestable, unfalsifiable, and unprovable supporting hypotheses.
 
It is still the best fit we have until something else comes along.
 
But your general feeling about current politicized peer-reviewed science bugs me just as much as you are obviously bugged. I've told the story before of my using the therapeutic approach of the Aussies who discovered H. pyelori as the cause of dudenal ulcers about 20 years before the American GI physcians finally accepted it. And don't get me started on climategate. 
 
I know Matt loves science. I do also, but Matt has not seen the subversion as I have over the years.
