In science theories are as good as it gets. It might be hard for the layman to grasp because in everyday language the word theory implies that guesswork is being used however in science theories are often better than laws. A law states that a given phenomenon occurs whereas a scientific theory is a whole framework of mutually coroborating evidence and hypotheses that explain how and why it occurs. Big bang is a theory but it's the only one available that is based on sound evidence therefore at present it's the only explanation that I consider provides a viable explanation for the origin of the universe.
