Indeed the red shift observed in cosmic bodies on which the hypothesis of the big bang is based has not been proven to be due to the Doppler effect. Most assume this to be the case simply by analogy. Many nevertheless assume the big bang to be true. The core of all observation is based upon assumptions. Evidence is then found to bolster those assumptions but the assumptions themselves can not be proven.

But you cant just say 'and therefore god'.
Sometimes 'we dont know' is a valid answer.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
