I hope Poly drops in to explain more of the evidence.
As I understand it, Fred Hoyle came up with a steady state model that could explain Hubble's observations... like some kind of "gyrating universe." But the CMB and discovery of dark energy kind of blow all that out of the water.
Another thing to note about it "all starting from a singularity." Science isn't 100% on that. All it can tell is that the universe was very hot and dense at one point.
The big bang theory is a "history of the early universe" and not "an explanation of how the universe got here." But you seem to get a lot of this... hopefully others can shed some more light.
