Science is the knowledge or study of facts about the natural world through observation and tests through experiments that can be repeated.
Gravity is a scientific theory being it can be observed and tested over and over...
But what do we say if asked about the big bang?
It was never observed cause people weren't around when it happened.
Answers anyone?

The big bang is an explosion that is still ongoing (in that the unverse is still expanding). We can see that other galaxies are moving away from us. We can also detect the left over radiation from the initial bang.

Every event you see happened in the past, as light has a finite speed.

I think most of us would agree this is an explosion, even though we haven't seen the moment it started.
