Er, no. Creationists don't have theories, they have untestable hypotheses. A hypothesis is an attempted explanation for observed data. A theory is a hypothesis that is supported by evidence. A hypothesis that can't be tested, like saying "god did it", is not part of science, which is a method of testing evidence.
Big Bang theory accounts for observed data. It says that at one time, the universe was smaller and hotter. This is proven fact, it is not in doubt. The rest of the concepts attached to it, like time beginning then and there being "nothing" before it, are
not part of Big Bang theory per se, they are
hypotheses that attempt to explain the Big Bang.
