This is a great question that needs to be asked more often. To start it's practically impossible for the universe to have exploded out of nothing or for it to be infinite. The second law of thermodynamics essentially states that there is a limited amount of energy in the universe and that it is being used up. Now the universe could not have existed forever simply because there just isn't that much energy in the universe. If the universe was infinite then it wouldn't be here. If the universe wasn't created than it has to be infinite, which is an impossibility.

Here is a similar reason that creation id true. This is called the cosmological argument:

1. Everything that had a beginning had a cause

2. The universe had a beginning

3. Therefore the universe had a cause.

Now the first statement cannot be refuted. It's called the Law of Causality. It is a fundamental principle of science that everything that exists/had a beginning has a cause. The second statement is what I just proved in the first paragraph. A limited amount of energy proves that the universe had e beginning. Because those two statements are true the third statement must logically be true as well.

We also know that the universe is expanding. This is proved by General Relativity. Now if the universe is expanding, and it is, it only makes sense that it started expanding at some point in time. If the universe was infinite it would be infinitely spread apart and it's quite clear that such is not the case.

Why is Evolution taken as fact rather than theory versus Biblical Creation?

Evolution is widely accepted by the scientific community because it is supported by mountains of evidence from various fields like genetics, paleontology, and biochemistry. It is considered a scientific theory, which means it is a well-substantiated explanation based on evidence. Biblical Creation, on the other hand, is a belief based on religious texts rather than empirical evidence, and therefore is not considered a scientific explanation.
