Nairn, the Big Bang is still theoretical, although most observational and computational evidence seems to suport it. Everything in science is a theory until proven completely - which is pretty rare, practically nonexistant. There has been some stuff especially coming out of String Theory that cause a wee bit of hesitation about the Big Bang, but that's still a pretty lightwight challenge to the theory without any hard observational evidence behind it. I mean heck, there's even some scientists starting to question whether what we take as universal constants (i.e. the speed of light) have actually changed at various states of the universe's development, which, if true, would really through amonkey wrench into the whole works.
All science is is a bunch of theories that you keep challenging. The minute something stops being a theory it becomes dogma and science doesn't work on dogme.I usually get my dander up when I sense faith based dickering in the scientific method, but calling the Big Bang theoretical isn't really innaccurate..
