Lets not be lumping in the scientific method with poets and philosophers.

Its cute to do so to make a 'shocking' point, but intellectually distinct from any other creation 'story'. While the big bang theory is obviously incomplete, and may well be totally wrong, it is based on observable data, from background radiation, to the apparent movement of the galaxies.

Unlike the others you listed, its not even an attempted answer, its a possible explanation for what is observed.
