Yea but then people can come up with all kinds of explanations for it...

Yes they can, but if those explanations conflict with repeatable observations they can be discarded.

Quote:Well a friend of mine who is a Christian and also a Scientist was explaining to me what the difference was between science and belief and then stated this:

"If you think the big bang happened it springs from belief and not science because the big bang was never observed, tested, recorded, or repeated."

But I don't believe in the Big Bang. I believe the Big Bang theory as modified by inflation is the most widely accepted model for the early development of the known universe. It is the most widely accepted model because it is the one that most closely matches current observations. Hopefully one day new observations will either confirm the Big Bang or lead to another theory that matches our observations better than the Big Bang model does.
