This is a hypothesis.

No, it's a theory. It makes extensively detailed, quantitative predictions that have been tested and borne out in every particular by observation.

This is not proof it happened.

That's true. It's not logically possible to prove any theory by observation. All you can ever do is test its predictions, and the best you can ever say is that it has passed all of its tests. That is the case with the Big Bang.

Demanding to know the cause of the big bang demands the evolutionist to put his money where his mouth is.

Please try again to digest what I posted. At the Big Bang time (as we define it) folds back upon itself; all possible directions point towards the future. Causes, by definition, are necessarily prior to effects. At the instant of the Big Bang, there's mathematically no such "prior" time. It's actually very simple.

Excuse if I am a bit incredulous.

I excuse you on the grounds of your ignorance. These things do sound incredible to someone who is unfamiliar with the evidence. Fortunately, that is correctible to someone with an open mind.

You don't have a plant turning into an animal or a horse turning into a kitty cat.

And it's a good thing, too, because such an event would utterly refute the entire edifice of evolution. Anyone with the most cursory understanding of evolution understands this.

I was using the kitty cat as an absurd illustration of species jumping to species. I realize that Evolutionists look at something with a little tighter reign than that. However, DNA mutation is usually harmful to a species and does not result in its become an entirely different KIND of animal. Evolution believes we sprang from molten rock over millions of years of time. This is a hypothesis *defined : a tentative assumption made in order to draw out and test its logical or empirical consequences. Science assumes billions of years. Science assumes evolution. It hypothesizes how this occurred and then looks for the evidence.
