This is yet another angle on the question "What is science?"
In this case, it concerns circumstances that cannot be replicated at will, such as the Great Vowel Shift (in linguistics, in the history of the English languages), the origins of the Great Depression (in economics), the causes of the P-T great extinction (in geology, etc), and so on.
I think the mistake you, and
rcglinsk, are making is to focus on one particular theory (or set of theories) in one branch of science (cosmology) ... your questions surely concern the nature of science (not the BBT).
