Besides, some stars have been burning much more energy than the Sun. How can they have started with more mass if the Big Bang is true? Matter SHOULD be evenly distributed.

The Big Bang wasn't a conventional explosion, and there are many candidates for uneven matter distribution, but just because scientists don't have a clear understanding of it yet doesn't mean you can just say 'Goddidit'
I don't know that much about cosmology, but randomly distributed and evenly distributed are not the same thing. An explosion might randomly distribute matter, but likely would not distribute it evenly. For example, If I take a sack of marbles and throw them on the floor, the probability that each marble will be equidistant from all neighboring marbles is very low. Some marbles will be very close to their nearest neighbor and some will be very far from the nearest neigbor. The set of al pairwise nearest-neighbor distances (I think) should approximate a normal distribution (given enough marbles).
This isn't fundie, this is an actual good question that has to be factored in to modern physics. They're asking the right thing; Big Bang allowed for the surprisingly even distribution we see, the tweaks allow for the variation. And it's still being worked on.
Not A Fundie. Or I suppose they might be, but this comment doesn't suggest it.
It's not even the even or uneven distrubution is the differing timescales of those masses attracting and collecting with larger masses attracting more and smaller masses being less influencial. It's why we see Nebulas fire up stars more than areas of space more settled and cleared up, it's why nebulas are shaped so diversly as suns build up and blow out causing more colorful clouds in space.
Besides, Ilovecartoons is pulling yet another strawman of creationist bullshit, manufacturing scientific absolutes that in no way anyone in science support. It reeks of Hovind in approach if not actual false premise.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
