Nothing "raises the Big Bang above theory". The fact that there's strong empirical evidence which agrees with its predictions is the reason that it qualifies as a theory.

Abusing the word theory like this just encourages the nutcases who object to the teaching of evolution theory or the big bang theory on the basis that they're "just" theories.
