Nobel was not awarded because Big Bang was proven, but that the theory was strongly supported.

"They have not proven the big-bang theory but they give it very strong support," said Per Carlson, chairman of the Nobel committee for physics.

The 2006 Nobel in Physics was awarded on work that advanced Physics in significant ways.

The overarching intent of the Nobel is to encourage further work, which may or may not support the original hypothesis.

How is that "troubling"?

I suppose it could be 'troubling' to some ideologues.
