No. The "Big Bang" hypothesis of the origin of the Universe developed in the 1930's and was widely ridiculed until about 1965 or so. In fact, the name "big bang" was coined by Sir Fred Hoyle, a British astronomer who intended to mock the idea.
The Big Bang was first posited by Belgian physicist and priest, Msgr. Georges Lemaitre, who developed the idea at some stage between 1927 and 1933, 1927 when he first proposed the expanding universe model, and 1933 when he published his most detailed paper on the model and it's implications for universe formation. Most of his work was based of Einstein's work on relativity. And over the years, scientists have found increasing evidence which supports the big bang theory, as Ken Mitchell above states.
Abbe Lemaitre originally proposed that the universe began from a singular point. George Gamow expounded on the theory by proposing that the universe was extremely hot and dense at the time, and gave a possible explanation for the formation of elements from the point of the Big Bang.
The current prevailing theory is the Big Bang theory, which posits that the universe began as a singularity around 13.8 billion years ago and has been expanding ever since. This theory is supported by various lines of evidence, such as the cosmic microwave background radiation and the observed expansion of the universe.

"Lenny, Penny, and Kenny" was the proposed title for the show that became The Big Bang Theory.
Jesuit priest George LeMaitre first proposed the idea that our Universe is expanding over time. Edwin Hubble provided the first astronomical evidence that LeMaitre was correct.
The Catholic Church, per se, did not 'discover' the Big Bang Theory. However, the original theory was first proposed by a Catholic monsignor from Belgium, Father George Lemaitre, in 1933, after reading Einstein's Theory of Relativity.

Newton died centuries before Jesuit priest Georges LeMaitre first proposed the hypothesis now known as Big Bang Cosmology.And I think, like most geniuses with difficulties in social interaction, Newton would have found the TV show The Big Bang Theory quite amusing.
Georges Lemaître proposed what later became known as the Big Bang theory in 1946.He called it L'Hypothèse de l'atome primitif" (Hypothesis of the primeval atom).
The father of big bang theory is Georges Lemaître, a Belgian Catholic priest and physicist who first proposed the concept in 1927. He suggested that the universe began as a singularity and has been expanding ever since, which laid the foundation for our current understanding of the origins of the universe.
