The statement that best explains why the big bang theory is more widely accepted than the steady state theory is:
**There is more scientific data to support the big bang theory.**
The big bang theory is supported by a wealth of observational evidence, including the cosmic microwave background radiation and the redshift of galaxies, which are consistent with an expanding universe that originated from a hot, dense state. In contrast, the steady state theory has less empirical support.
