Dondilion, the Big Bounce is merely one variation of the Big Bang theory. The interesting wrinkle is, just like the Big Bang, the Big Bounce also cannot be tested empirically at its extreme boundaries, so it too is unprovable.

The Big Bang can be reduced to a large balloon in a finite box. Something comes along and pops the balloon, which then obliterates its shell, and the box, spreading out in a foreseen controlled manner in all directions, dropping planets, star systems, and galaxies along the way in a modelled system, from a single event.

Something comes along and pops the balloon, which then obliterates its shell, and the box, spreading out in a foreseen controlled manner, dropping planets, star systems, and galaxies along the way in a modelled system, while undergoing distinct and defined chain of events.

Both start at a similar point and progress in a similar fashion, but there is much much more empirical data supporting the first model at this point.
