It doesn't prove the big bang. It's something that is predicted by big bang theory, and when it was discovered, it was powerful support for the theory. And it's a physical fact that distinguishes big bang theory from its one-time rival, steady-state theory, which is now dis-proved, because it's inconsistent with the CMB. I have a book called Galaxies, I think that's the one, which states that galaxies are all perfectly evenly distributed throughout the universe exactly as predicted by the Big Bang theory. Isn't it interesting how the BB Theory is updated to predict the latest things observation shows us.

It's my understanding, and those with more astrophysical experience than I can correct me, that galaxies are not evenly distributed throughout the universe, but are located in fast sheets, as if they were on the surfaces of enourmous bubbles.

I can just see you as a cardinal in Rome back in the 13 and 1400s. "First they tell us that planets revolve around the Sun in circles, and then they tell us they revolve around the Sun in eliptical orbits. It's all a bunch of crap. Everyone knows the Sun revolves around the Earth."

The prediction preceded the observation in this case.
