Isn't this exactly what Robert it talking about?

"Crackpot", "Misleading", "Technically inaccurate" is exactly what the statement is.
The critique of the Big Bang Theory is based on strawman arguments rather than facts.
The very first sentence highlights this.

The big bang today relies on a growing number of hypothetical entities, things that we have never observed-- inflation, dark matter and dark energy are the most prominent examples.

The
effects of dark matter and dark energy are observed through the
rotation curves of galaxies, the escape velocity of individual galaxies in clusters and type Ia supernova standard candles for calculating distances respectively. Now we have the possibility that primordial gravitational waves are the observed effects of inflation.
As to the
causes of inflation, dark matter and dark energy, this takes it out of the field of cosmology into particle physics.
Then there is this pearler.....

What is more, the big bang theory can boast of no quantitative predictions that have subsequently been validated by observation.....

So much for what has been stated so far in this thread..........
