That's religious, there is NO evidence for a BB.

I'm surprised that you've missed this stuff. Big Bang theories are
based on general relativity. You know, that "greatest blunder" can't
get a static universe stuff? Intuitively, it seems pretty obvious that
if stuff is moving away from us, then it was a lot closer in the past
(cite redshifting versus distance as evidence). Structure of the
background radiation, every once in a while rags like Physics Today
publish new comparisons of measurement with theory. Gravitational
lensing apparantly caused by clumps of the dark matter that some wrote
off as fiction. Theories of Big Bang nucleosynthesis correctly predict
ratios of primordial isotopes.

There's actually quite a bit more than zero evidence there.

Let's be careful, there is no evidence that the
so-called "Red Shift" is of Doppler origin, that's
an assumption. And the idea that CMBR are
radiation remanents of the BB is really pushing
strange assumptions, again without evidence.

IMO BB is a conjecture requiring the suspension
of the laws of physics at some point (as PD said)
without any valid replacement, A.K.A. a MIRACLE,
therefore we have no theory for the MIRACLE and
so BB is NOT a theory, though an interesting
conjecture, and has the same weight as theism,
aka religious.
