Not so. The big bang is merely the period of rapid expansion. It does not dictate a singularity, and the idea that there was a singularity has fallen out of favor. Scientists realized a while ago that they were assuming far too much to say it necessitated a singularity.The Big Bang theory suggests that all matter exploded out of an infinitely small point of origin and created everything we know.
You are also off base because scientists, even before this realization, did not demand with 100% certainty that it was true. They would deem is possible, maybe even likely, but never absolutely true.
The spirit of my post remains intact.
