Yes, I was trying to direct you away from the philosphy (which of course I noticed was your major) and back to the cause and effect, which of course is intimately tied to 'observational interpretation'.
So, to be honest, I am not looking to debate the philosphy of science, 'good science', methodology, etc.
So perhaps you would like to take a stab at this question...
For 50 + years the brightest minds on this planet have tried to figure out another way that baryonic matter, the electrons, protons, and neutrons
become part of our universe, and make up the Hydrogen and Helium that begin
star formation, and in all that time...Zilch, Nada, Zippo!
So, let's just say for a moment that Big Bang "TYPE" nucleosynthesis is the correct answer for this, then, besides the Big Bang...
What is the only possible source for this "TYPE" of nucleosynthesis that we know of???
