How so? I don't understand what you're saying here.
Conventional theory dictates that spiral galaxies cannot emerge fully-formed in a mere billion years. Therefore, a fully-formed spiral galaxy within a billion years of the alleged "Big Bang" is an anomaly that cannot be explained by the "Big Bang" theory.
The Milky way galaxy, our galaxy, rotates about once every 250 million years, so, 4 rotations in a billion years, which is not enough to organize a galaxy of our mass into a fully-formed spiral.
Personally, I have always considered the "Big Bang" theory to be inherently flawed, and not real "science". I see it as being no different from a magical or religious explanation of the origin of the universe. Religion says "there was a god, and that god made everything from nothing". Magic simply states that things come from nothings via some mysterious power. The "Big Bang" theory essentially states that "there was nothing, then suddenly there was everything" without invoking any explanation for that astounding claim. So, no more than magic or religion. Probably inferior to those, since they at least attempt to provide some explanation for how something came from nothing.
