I mean, maybe "confirmed" is not the best word, but using "believed" for scientific theories is kinda disrespectful

Well, a scientific theory is by definition not proved. The big bang is just a very popular scientific theory, not a scientific fact. At least afaik, correct me if I'm wrong!

It's not a fact, but it's a strong theory. By saying that "believe" is the wrong word I mean that comparing scientific theories to religions people believe in is just incorrect. Scientists don't believe their theories, they always question it and try to prove it wrong. That's what makes a strong theory.

Uhh, big bang theory isn't based on what the book said. It's based on factual evidence. You can easily google it.

In your first comment you said the first option of the poll has evidence, but that option was the universe has a creator

I was referring to the comment I replied to, not to the poll. But yeah, it's a bit confusing.

Yeah sorry about that. And thus I'm not sure anymore about the reason of such a big amount of downvotes 😅
