Unfortunately we're a little late to see the Big Bang since we can observe objects that are 18-20 billion light-years away, and the seminal event is presumed to have taken place roughly 13-and-change billion years ago, based on observations of colour-shifted objects. Until we can tear matter apart and "carbon date" to components, we aren't likely to get a great deal of additional information.
As such it's the best explanation we have for how the whole mess came into being.
