The Big Bang
What is the big bang theory? No, not the television show, but the actual scientific theory? It all started when Edwin Hubble discovered that their were red shift waves coming from the other side of the universe. He found that the red shift waves meant that the universe was moving farther apart, so at one point it had to have been all together. The big bang theory goes that before the universe was formed, every single piece of matter was compacted into a tiny object in a tiny area in space. It was so unstable because of all compressed energy, that one slightest movement would make it explode. And that's exactly what happened. Nobody knows what had set off this explosion, some people think that it is the god of their belief, but nobody knows.
This explosion is so massive, that it sent chunks of mass as far as the universe could go. This is the most well backed up evidence as to how the universe started.

Evidence of the Big Band Theory
To have a theory, you have to have evidence of some sort. In the case of the big bang, it was radio waves. Radio waves don't just appear, they have to be created. So when people found evidence of strange radio waves floating in, that were really old. It started when Penzias and Wilson worked together, what they found were really long radio waves from the edge of the universe. They were so old and non-energetic to come from the Milky Way. They figured that it was the first solid evidence of the Big Bang. Today, it is part of a few pieces of evidence we believe in.
Another is the fact that we have so many protons in some of the elements. If the stars can barely create helium when they are dying, then it must of had a huge explosion to make the forty proton elements. That's where the big bang comes in. It is one of the only things big enough to have that hot of an explosion. That's what it takes to make huge elements like gold and silver.
