The term "Big Bang" was coined by the English astrophysicist Fred Hoyle in 1949.
The evidence we have indicates that the universe began approximately 13.8 billion years ago in what we call the Big Bang. Hoyle championed a rival "steady state" cosmological theory, but he insisted that the term "big bang" was not meant derisively, but was simply a descriptive way to distinguish the theories.
Though the Big Bang suggests a colossal explosion, it wasn't really an "explosion" in the sense that we understand it. Rather, it was a sudden and colossal expansion.
