the Big Bang model describes how the universe emerged out of a hot and dense state, not where the hot and dense state came from. that doesn't mean that scientists are taking the fact that the Big Bang happened on faith (quite the opposite, actually.)

for example, Newton's law of gravitation states that objects exert a force of attraction proportional to their masses and distance.

But what causes gravity? how does it work? Newton had no idea.

does that mean scientists were only taking the existence of gravity on faith and that there was no proof that it was real for over 300 years until Einstein figured out what causes it?
