The evidence for the Big Bang is the expanding universe and has been given extra credence by the discovery of cosmic background radiation. Furthermore, YOU assert the is a trick, so you must provide evidence to support said claim. As it goes the Big Bang is a relatively solid theory now (Note, theory is the highest form of scientific discovery, unless it is purely mathematical, in which case it is a law. It doesn't mean "We THINK this, but can't prove it", that's a hypothesis.), in comparison to, say, string theory, which, while it holds true, doesn't actually predict anything and so therefor isn't considered science by a lot of people, at least those who understand science.

NOTE: I use, and most other people should too in order to actually have rational conversations, this method for having discussions of a rational manor. I will only say this one more time, but my position and the position of almost all of the atheists in the world is NOT that one or more gods don't exist but that the claim that they do has not be proven and that it is therefor not logical to conclude it is true. We don't need evidence contrary to the claim because we don't necessarily believe, and don't absolutely claim to KNOW, that the contrary is true.
