Creation Moment 5/20/2020 - "Big Bang" Problems SERIES: Where Is the Antimatter?

Where Is the Antimatter?
"Consider the “baryon number problem.”
Recall that the big bang supposes that matter (hydrogen and helium gas) was created from energy as the universe expanded.

However, experimental physics tells us that whenever matter is created from energy, such a reaction also produces antimatter. Antimatter has similar properties to matter, except the charges of the particles are reversed. (So whereas a proton has a positive charge, an antiproton has a negative charge.)
--Any reaction where energy is transformed into matter produces an exactly equal amount of antimatter; there are no known exceptions.
--The big bang (which has no matter to begin with, only energy) should have produced exactly equal amounts of matter and antimatter, and that should be what we see today. But we do not. *The visible universe is comprised almost entirely of matter—with only trace amounts of antimatter anywhere.
This devastating problem for the big bang is actually consistent with biblical creation; it is a design feature.
God created the universe to be essentially matter only—and it’s a good thing He did. When matter and antimatter come together, they violently destroy each other. If the universe had equal amounts of matter and antimatter (as the big bang requires), life would not be possible."
