Oh JK was "just kidding."
There is a lot of evidence to support a big bang.
The Hubble Ultra Deep Field has shown that galaxies 13 bya were not like present galaxies and were most likely the first galaxies.
The CMB is pretty much the way BB theory would predict.
I've heard BB detractors say that inflationary BB predicts anisotrpies closer to 1:10,000 not the 1:100,000 range that is observed, but I don't know enough about it to say one way or another.
Anyway, there are a lot of things that suggest that space is expanding and that it has been doing so from an original, much smaller state.
Let's not forget about Olber's paradox.
An infinite universe also causes other paradoxes like the Gravitational Paradox and the Thermodynamic Paradox.
I don't think we'll ever have 'direct' evidence of the BB, unless we can get a telescope that can peer into the "dark ages" of the universe, but the universe sure looks finite.
Well, whatever, I've got no dispute with the fact that there is no evidence, direct or indirect, of an instantaneous creation.
