I wasn't aware that we'd gone from "BB Cosmology is currently the most accepted theory of the early origins of our universe, which seems to match the evidence we have, has made predictions that have been borne out, and has made claims that could be falsified but currently have not been" to " The BB probably never happened."
That being said, there is no "if", Genesis is garbage. We needn't invoke our lack of complete knowledge about the early universe to state it so certainly and so plainly. Gensis does not end with "let there be light", it goes on to give an "early history of man" which can be very easily demonstrated to be complete and utter garbage. If the BB model were completely incorrect, there would still be no reason to even consider Genesis as an alternative, and there is no obligation to continual reassess a theory that has been discredited when it's claims have not changed. The universe ultimately came from -we don't know-. The observable universe which we exist in appears to have come from an event which has been called "The Big Bang".
