Theory

Big Bang is considered a theory

Evolution is considered a theory

God?? Why do so many people believe in God rather than call him a theory?

“Theory”, like “non-profit”, has a context. “Theory” is a word used when talking of science - of how things work. “non-profit” is a tax term. It describes the tax rules under which the organization functions.

Meanwhile, God is about WHY as well as the spiritual realm (outside our own laws of physics). Since the scope of science is confined to our laws of physics, it can’t begin to even deal with that. Using science to prove or disprove God is like trying to use a screwdriver as a hammer. It’s the wrong tool for the job.

If you get your britches tied in a knot over the Big Bang and Evolution, you might as well complain about geology, genetics, and linguistics too. They are used as consistent measures in how change occurred over time. Go and take as much science as possible out of your life to comfort thyself.
