Edwin Hubble has been given most of the credit for figuring out that the Doppler redshift from faraway galaxies means that they are receding from us at an incredible rate; and the further away they are, the faster they're receding.

The first to propose what became known as the Big Bang theory (no relation to the TV show of the same name) was Belgian astronomer Georges Lemaître, in 1927. It was given its name by English astronomer Fred Hoyle in 1949, during a radio broadcast meant to downplay and discredit the theory.

Most of his work was based of Einstein's work on relativity. And over the years, scientists have found increasing evidence which supports the big bang theory, as Ken Mitchell above states.
