Exhibit 'A': It [Big Bang] is a very specific theory about the expansion of space-time.
Exhibit 'B': Yes, theories can be modified, but that is the result of new evidence.
IOW, we are back to the original assertion that believers in the religion of Evolution only have to believe one thing: Absolutely No Intelligent Design, anything else goes.

I thought that you were going to show Stremba contradicting himself, but you seem to have picked two non-contradicatory statements by accident.

That is your assertion, but you haven't demonstrated it to be true. Scientists believe things for which they have been shown evidence. Those who support ID have not managed to make a convincing scientific case.
Not contradictory at all. The big bang theory is a very specific theory. It can and will be modified as new evidence comes to life. The product of this modification will be a new, very specific theory. That is how science works, and how it always has worked.
BTW, why do you assume that anyone believing in evolution doesn't believe in intelligent design? The two (despite your insults to the contrary) are not inconsistent. You must first understand that evolution does not go beyond the point at which the first living organism has been formed. The origin of life could be a result of intelligent design even if evolution is completely true. Furthermore, you seem to believe that evolution must necessarily proceed via random processes. Not true. The theory of evolution in its modern form states that mutation and natural selection is a primary mechanism (but not the only one) for speciation. It actually does not make any reference to purposelessness or randomness. The question of purpose is actually outside the realm of science. Science will never be able to determine whether there is purpose behind evolution. Please avoid such sweeping generalizations in the future. Not all people who study science and believe that the theory of evolution is an accurate and useful explanation for many observations in the biological sciences are "God haters."
