Alright. In no particular order:


 * 1) White holes, wormholes, and Hawking radiation are all theoretical
 * 2) Micro black holes (which are also theoretical) are actually miniscule (smaller than a proton) and wouldn't last more than a few microseconds (perhaps even picoseconds). Even the Earth, collapsed into a black hole, would need to be the size of a marble, IIRC
 * 3) Black holes post-Big Bang wouldn't last very long. The fact that the Universe was pure energy at the time, coupled with its rapid expansion, would mean that they'd be highly unstable, if they even got to form. In fact, the first black holes are thought to have been formed when the first stars (absurdly large balls of plasma composed of pure hydrogen - the only element in existence at the time) collapsed in chain reactions. This was long after the Big Bang
