But the thing you have to keep in mind is that Inflation (AKA The Big Bang) is still only a theory.
What do you mean by "is still only a theory"?

It's an atheist liberal conspiracy to promote same and mixed sex orgies. Big... Bang. Need I say more? Read between the lines, duuuuude!

As far as I'm aware there is no proof but there is evidence , the fact that Galaxies are moving away from each other is part of that evidence.

Existence is counter productive.
Why should you care if I ask a question or my response to it?

What a sad, insular little world you must live in to think your entire existence is counterproductive.

Maybe because people wasted their time engaging in what should've, or at least could have, been a legitimate and reasonable dialogue when you are really just trolling to fill your own emptiness. Some people are actually here to earn or share knowledge. You're just a bottom feeder. Which is cool I guess if it's what makes you happy. I just know better than to bother in the future.

Maybe they are moving towards something?
Like other Universes, or giant galaxy clusters with huge gravitational pull.
Maybe this stuff is travelling to higher gravity denser areas, maybe the outskirts of our universe have greater pull, like being on the inside of a bubble and being pulled to the wall?
Maybe they are moving towards something?

While the Big Bang is our best explanation at the moment I'm not convinced it is the whole story or even the correct one of how or why the Universe came into being.
What exactly is considered proof of the Big Bang happening?

Despite the sardonic title, I have a legitimate question.
What exactly is considered proof of the Big Bang happening? I have enough trouble believing anything provided to us by scientific sources as it is, but determining "The Big Bang" happened doesn't seem like something actually doable.
Any satellite/telescope nerds think they have the answer?

If I was to believe there was a big bang, I would have to believe in more than one.
Otherwise I will entertain other ideas.
The thought of other Universes out there past the boundaries of our own, is mindblowing, so is infinity, Infinity to me means there is stuff out there we can't even fathom.
How far away from a neighboring Universe would one have to be away from to see the whole thing? (imagine taking a pic and getting it all in one shot). What would it look like? A big ball, a disc? Does it rotate?
Is there a super massive black hole in the middle of the Universe, do other Universe revolve around each other?
Could Universes group together like galaxies and form megaverses?
See, it's just to much to comprehend.

Why would you have to believe in more than one? We've only got evidence for one having happened. Sure if multiple universes exist then it is conceivable that more than one big bang has occurred, but first you have to show that multiple universes like ours exist first.
Wow! That was quick! It only took 28 posts before a poster arrived with the purported evidence (which fits the facts of our observations).
No one in science believes this for any theory. Only a naive fool would believe the book is closed on ANY science topic.
