The down votes of parent comment makes me feel like this debate is turning more like a religious debate. Where ideology and faith dominates reasoning and logic.
That's cosmology for you! There certainly is a quasi-religious element to the debate. I graduated in physics and although the Big Bang theory fits the evidence quite well, so do some other theories. The Big Bang arguably fits the closest, but I would hardly call it proven. Thats why we call it a theory. But I've always been surprised by the ideological reactions to doubt in that field of physics.
