My opinion is that no competing theory is superior to the Big Bang, and that's what I'll go with, until and unless something does a better job explaining the reality of how our universe began. I don't treat the Big Bang as untouchable canon of the universe, and I don't think many other atheists do, either.
If Christians can still believe that Christ is coming back next Thursday after 2000 years of next Thursdays, I can give Big Bang cosmology a few more decades to figure itself out.
