If the universe was initially rotating, it should still be rotating today. There is no evidence that it is rotating.

Where does this come from? Do some creationists claim the universe is rotating?

Added to Wyz's points above that there's no "center" of the universe and no external reference, if the universe were rotating, we'd have no way to tell, would we?
It is from a book called "starlight and time" by a Dr. Humphreys.

The book apparently explains that the Earth was at the center of a black hole.

In order for the Earth to keep from being "crushed", the black hole would have to be "rotating".
