The big bang theory is supported by several lines of scientific evidence. The observation of the cosmic microwave background radiation, which is a remnant of the early universe, is one of the strongest pieces of evidence for the big bang. Additionally, the large-scale distribution of galaxies and the observed expansion of the universe are consistent with the predictions of the big bang theory.
On the other hand, the steady state theory has been largely discredited and is not supported by as much scientific evidence. The theory proposed that the universe is continuously creating matter to maintain its density. However, observations of the cosmic microwave background radiation and the distribution of galaxies do not support the idea of a continuously expanding and replenishing universe.
Overall, the scientific evidence strongly supports the big bang theory as the most accurate explanation for the origin and evolution of the universe.
