 Nope.  Not by a long shot.  This phenomena is explained by a large
 gravity well.

 It's really simple, Richard.  In the big bang model, electromagnetism
 has NO EFFECT in the early Universe immediately following the initial
 expansion.  It is not until molecules have begun to combine that the
 strong force comes into play.  This is understood by every proponent
 of the big bang model, and is mentioned at every turn.  How explicit
 must one be?
