Edwin Hubble, using the Hooker telescope at Mount Wilson, is credited with the discovery that the distances to far away galaxies are generally proportional to their redshifts (as in the Doppler effect); an idea which was originally predicted by Lemaître in 1927. Hubble's observation was taken to indicate that all very distant galaxies and clusters have an apparent velocity directly away from our vantage point: the farther away, the higher the apparent velocity.

Other supportive evidence for the big bang Theory - Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation has been discovered and it is suggested that this has been left over from the Big Bang and galactic clusters are still moving away from each other at an ever increasing acceleration.

What does the big bang theory have in common with atheism?

The Big Bang theory is a scientific explanation for the origin of the universe, while atheism is a lack of belief in a god or gods. Some atheists may find the Big Bang theory supports their worldview by providing a naturalistic explanation for the universe's existence without the need for a deity. However, belief in the Big Bang theory is not exclusive to atheists; people of various religious beliefs also accept it as a scientific explanation for the universe's origins.

Where can you find information on the Big Bang theory?

There is a lot to know. Go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang_Theory The Big Bang Theory is the dominant scientific theory about the origin of the universe. According to the big bang, the universe was created sometime between 10 billion and 20 billion years ago from a cosmic explosion that hurled matter and in all directions. In 1927, the Belgian priest Georges Lema�tre was the first to propose that the universe began with the explosion of a primeval atom. His proposal came after observing the red shift in distant nebulas by astronomers to a model of the universe based on relativity. Years later, Edwin Hubble found experimental evidence to help justify Lema�tre's theory. He found that distant galaxies in every direction are going away from us with speeds proportional to their distance. The big bang was initially suggested because it explains why distant galaxies are traveling away from us at great speeds. The theory also predicts the existence of cosmic background radiation (the glow left over from the explosion itself). The Big Bang Theory received its strongest confirmation when this radiation was discovered in 1964 by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, who later won the Nobel Prize for this discovery. Although the Big Bang Theory is widely accepted, it probably will never be proved; consequentially, leaving a number of tough, unanswered questions. The Big Bang Theory does not necessarily go against those who belive in Creation. God could have very well used the Big Bang to create the universe.

Since we can't find a new theory that replaces or is better than the Big Bang theory, wouldn't it be better to keep looking for new angles and new concepts in that same theory?

I think it would be hard to work on another theory. There are more chances on discovering new paths in the same theory than to create a new one. Much more difficult is to idealize the concept of infinity or atemporality than to study the issues related to the Big Bang's.
