Recent evidence seems to prove the theory as true (and it's not so much a "bang" as a sudden expansion that took only fractions of a second.

The amount of evidence in support of the Big Bang theory is simply overwhelming. So much so that the theory simply cannot now be overturned.
Here are a few examples of supporting evidence, by which I mean predictions by the Big Bang theory that have been quantitatively verified.
- The Universe as a whole is expanding.
- The universe is filled with a sea of radiation at a temperature of just over 2.7 degrees Kelvin, the remnant of the superhot radiation from the fireball that has cooled down as the universe expanded.
- The observed abundance of hydrogen, helium and some other light elements produced just after the Big Bang confirms to prediction.
- The large-scale structures observed in the universe today, are a consequence of small fluctuations shortly after the Big Bang
- Einstein's Theory of Relativity, a theory for which there exist overwhelming evidence even from everyday phenomena, predicts an expanding Universe.
There is only one big problem with the Big Bang. It is based on General Relativity and the latter is incompatible with Quantum Mechanics in certain areas. So both have to be incorporated in someting larger, better. That doesn't mean one of them is wrong, only that it is, somehow, incomplete.

i believe its true, and just because its a theory doesnt mean its not proven or a fact, in a scientific connotation theory means something proven beyond a reasonable doubt that may need minor modifications but is generally held to be fact. only above theories are laws which are theories that have stood the test of time.

It is true. If you throw a can of hairspray in a fire, you hear a big bang.
Oh that big bang. You have got to be crazy to believe in that. It breaks the basic law of physics that saise that matter cannot be created or destroyed.

It's a theory that has been around for too long to not have been proved a fact yet. It pretty much goes against traditional science, in that everything that happens seems to contradict common knowledge.

The big bang was the sound made by Chuck Norris' first roundhouse kick. It was so strong it made everything burst apart into thousands of stars and planets and stuff.

I a "not started by God" view I have a hard time imagining starting with nothing. The nothing became something and exploded starting life. Ever seen an explosion create order? What ignited it? How did nothing change into something or was there always something?

it seems to be the closest sceintific reason of how this all started that we've all come up with yet and i wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't just a theory some day soon.

I think it's possible, maybe even probable. That's not really my thing, so I don't mind leaving it to the scientists. The thing I'm waiting to hear is where they think that stuff came from initially.
