Pretty sure we've been over the Big Bang theory not being the theory that the universe came from nothing; it's the theory that (like it says in the intro song to the show) the whole universe was in a hot, dense, state; then something happened (the initial rapid expansion). Where the 'hot dense state' came from is not addressed by the BBT. The theory works whether the previous state of the universe was eternal or 'popped out of nowhere'.
It's kind of like the theory of biological evolution in that respect; which explains how life evolved, however it started, not the origin of the first life form.
Thank you. Theists who don't get that are committing a version the Nirvana fallacy: If a theory doesn't explain everything, it explains nothing.
