Ah, but the point is that it hasn't as of yet been shown to be falsifiable.  Therefore, according to your definition of science (though not according to the classic definition of science), the Big Bang Theory is not a theory.

It doesn't have to be proven false, it merely needs to be able to be falsified. You cannot falsify "God did it" but you can falsify (potentially) "the universe expanded from a singularity."
