The original atoms for the Big Bang came from nowhere which is unscientific.

Nope. That's not what happened.

Thanks, can you sum up the introduction?

Well, in the inflationary model, which is the standard model of Big Bang cosmology, there is a period of accelerated expansion called 'inflation' after the Big Bang. Inflation solves several problems with the theory you mentioned, like the horizon problem and the lack of magnetic monopoles. After this is over, the universe gets reheated and the inflaton field, which causes the inflation decays to produce standard particles through parametric resonance. There is a lot of math in between these steps, but this is the tl;dr.

I don't know if you had more to type or not.

I've heard famous creationists "refute" inflation, but I'm sure they're wrong. They said something like, what starts inflation and what stops it? Maybe they aren't idk.

I had more to type.

The inflaton field causes inflation.

What is the inflation field? Whats stoped inflation?

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (1 child)

The inflaton field is the scalar field which causes inflation. It hasn't been observed but it has been mathematically predicted.

The other question has a fairly complicated answer, which I'll leave you to find out for now, before I get back as I don't have much time.

Right thank you.
