Well, we can't prove the big bang because we can't prove anything in science since proof is only reserved for mathematics and formal systems.
What we can do however, is to observe the effects of the big bang and as far as I can tell the observations are in good concordance with the current cosmological model.

An honest answer, almost. You still gave some event(s) a label you can't prove, as if it had been. But I give you an A for effort.
