Is it true that the cosmic microwave background is from the Big Bang?
Yes. Reference sources (Wikipedia, ESA, Wikibooks) state the cosmic microwave background is relic radiation released shortly after the Big Bang and is key evidence for it. One physics Q&A notes it originates ~380,000 years after the Big Bang rather than at the event itself, and a fringe paper offers a non-Big-Bang interpretation.
