B. Cosmic microwave background radiation exists in all areas of the observable universe.
C. Cosmic microwave background radiation contains all of the dark matter necessary to start the Big Bang.

The two observations of cosmic microwave background radiation that support the Big Bang theory are:
B. Cosmic microwave background radiation exists in all areas of the observable universe.
E. Cosmic microwave background radiation has a relatively consistent temperature throughout the observable universe.
These observations indicate that the universe was once in a hot, dense state and has since cooled and expanded, consistent with the predictions of the Big Bang theory.
