Big Bang Theory is very definitely a full theory supported by hard

Such as the life long atheist and Darwinist Fred Hoyle, FRS?
Well yes and no..

The big bang is a theory which is not refuted by the evidence, that's all.

So actually is Creationism. God could as easily created a universe
complete with a fake fossil record and all conditions just right to LOOK
as though it was much older etc. etc.

William of Occam might have had something to say about that...

The problem is that is an irrefutable theory* and hence according to
Popper, metaphysical, not scientific. And its not actually a useful
theory either - it makes no predictions at all.
