The reason I think the Big Bang theory is wrong is the following:

1. The BB theory can be seen as explaining how the universe came into being out of merely nothing. As a matter of fact, there is no need to explain why the universe exists, because of the simple fact the universe has always existed and will always exist. Plain physics shows that matter can't be created out of nothing, nor motion can arise out of a state without motion. Which leads to the simple conclusion that time has no begin or end.

2. The cosmological model BB theory is based on, assumes there was a finite amount of matter. As a consequence such models predict either there be expansion or contraction. But space is just unlimited and filled with matter in infinte extent, so such a model doesn't need to be assumed.

3. BB theory is based on an explenation of the redshift of starlight from far away galaxies as being a doppler redshift. There is a far more simply theory, that explain why there is a distance - redshift relation, which is simply based on the fact that the light during the long travel looses some of it's energy (gets redder) because of the interactions with the intergalactic matter.

4. Olbers` paradox states that if the universe were unlimited in extent and homogenously filled with luminous matter, and without a beginning, would lead to a sky being luminated in all directions. This is indeed the case, but because of the redhsift, the remnants of all the light from all the stars in an infinite universe, can only be seen as the 3 K radiation, and not as visible light.

5. BB theory can't explain how out of literally nothing, all matter came into existence, without a meta-physical explenation. In ordinary physics, matter can't be created out of nothing, and no motion can arise out of a motionless state. Physics can't help to understand or explain that (there is no need for that either) without turning into meta-physcis. I could just well asume that a superbeing did it.

6. And there are a lot more things wrong with the BB theory. That's why it is fixed everytime new observations are made, that can't be explained with the existent BB theory.

Big Bang theory is just plain wrong, because it needs the help of meta-physics to explain the universe, and it tries to explain things, that don't need explenation at all.
The universe simply exists (although it is constantly and eternally changing) and has no begin or end (not in time and not in space).
