I haven't seen the program but two fundamental things bother me about BB.
1) We have never witnessed the creation or destruction of matter - only the re-arrangement of existing matter. So how can we say that something can come from nothing?
2) If BB is true - there must have existed a "spaial area" that the Universe banged into - and what is the spacial area it potentially further expands into.
