There are two competing theories of the origin of the universe:
The Big Bang Theory is what they call the "Hot" model because the initial explosion is hot.
The Inflationary Theory is what they call the "Cool" model because it takes into account "Dark Matter" to a greater extent.
Both theories are good, but the Big Bang is still a favorite. Which is true? Well, we don't know. We know what happened to 10^-43 seconds after the initial beginning of the universe, but everything before that time is unknown. Therefore we can only assume, we don't know which is true.

Nope! Why would we believe some scientist that say stuff which might not be true. I would like to say (when i become a scientist) that Humans first floated in the space and made rocks which are now the planets. Will anyone consider that true. The bing bang doesn't explain a lot of things. How did the moon form? How come the planets close to the sun (which were supposed to have the most moon) don't have any moons?
The big bang theory is not true but also some kind of hard lesson. Scientist are wasting their time on this theory for no use.

The universe was once much smaller and much denser, and it has been expanding since then. Extrapolating backwards, the logical conclusion is that it all came from one point in a "big bang".
We know the universe was smaller and denser and composed entirely of hydrogen at one point for certain because of the Cosmic Microwave Background. This is light given off by, you guessed it, hot hydrogen gas billions and billions of years ago. It is no longer visible to human eyes because space has expanded so much and stretched the light, "redshifting" it well past red, through infrared and into the microwave frequencies. Its also everywhere in the sky they look. No one can actually photograph the bang itself because ionized hydrogen isn't transparent. The microwave background was emitted in the moments when the hydrogen cooled enough to allow light to pass, and is basically the oldest light in the universe.
They built a space telescope that could see microwaves, and here is what it sent back:

There is nothing really wrong with believing that God did it, except it raises the uncomfortable question of how was God created? Did he just spring out of nothingness by chance? Or was it the primal singularity, which exploded to become the rest of the universe, that appeared? In truth, that picture of the wall of primeval fire is the earliest one anybody will ever have. The rest of the theory is just educated guessing.

Physicists cannot predict what the universe was like at time zero because all mathematics and physical laws break down into meaningless solutions. The Big Bang is only one theory for the beginning of the universe.
So far it APPEARS that the universe initially underwent a rapid initial expansion period, however, prior to this first fraction of a second, there is no definite idea as to the composition of the universe. Maybe, there wasn't a Big Bang at all, but maybe a "folding over" of space and time on itself from another universe, dimension, etc.

When the Vatican embraced the Big Bang Theory in the nineties
I knew the theory had to be wrong.

No one can prove it as a scientific fact since it IS the start of creation. But the big bang theory is the foremost explanation on how everything was created

It's the model that best fits the observable data that we have on the universe. The theory has been able to make predictions that have been verified. In a nutshell that meets the scientific definition of a valid theory.

Find a book online called "Darwins Black Box".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin's_Black_Box
A top scientist divulges information that discredits the big bang, and evidence that the worlds top scientific authorities and institutes tried their hardest to ban his book from being read by students and educators. They want it to be a FACT that the big bang happened, but there is not a shread of actual evidence that it did.
Based on the complexity of simple things like ribosomes and other microscopic entities and how they function, renew themselves, work with other microscopic entities and so forth, scientists are more and more coming to realize that these things HAD to have been intelligently created. There are too many factors of chance and chaos in reality for so many things to have happened by "chance" that allows our planet to be perfectly distanced from the sun and moon, the atmosphere to exist and not be toxic in some way, the Ozone to protect us from harmful radiation, the stable (but threatened) ecosystem, each aspect of how our human bodies work and so on and so on..
Thats putting too many things into a "what-if" category.

It is a theory which is neither true nor false but just a theory. it can not be proven but it can be tested. so no one knows for sure if its true its a theory which cant be proven

The reason why it is still a theory, not a fact, is that it may be true, it may be not.
