For the Big Bang, there’s the observable fact that the universe itself is expanding, as differences between galaxies and other galaxies has been increasing via some unknown force, often considered to be the expansion of the universe aided by dark energy pushing things apart.
Which, in and of itself, proves absolutely nothing. The fact that the universe is expanding which creationist welcome and accept, is not proof that with zero fuel, oxygen, heat, and even space in which to exist, an explosion of absolutely nothing created all the matter in the universe, a hypothetical event that would, if true, be an egregious violation of the First Law of Thermodynamics, i.e., that both matter and energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Of course, both worldviews involve the creation of matter, but whereas in the naturalistic viewpoint, the matter was created by absolutely nothing, for nothing existed before the alleged explosion, in the creationist viewpoint, matter was created by an omnipotent God who exists apart from space and time and wrote the Laws of Thermodynamics Himself. In fact, thousands of years before the advanced scientific instruments required for such observations of the cosmos were invented by the mind of man, the Bible revealed that the cosmos were in fact being stretched, and expanding. "The LORD wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the heavens like a tent..." (Psalm 104:2). Just as the Scriptures went against the scientific ideas held by the ancient world, establishing that the earth was round (Isaiah 40:22), so God also revealed through the authors of the Bible, who had zero comprehension of the implications of what they were writing, that the universe is in fact expanding – the most complex of astrophysics, millennia ahead of its time. Pretty good for what atheists like to call a Book written by "uneducated shepherds."
