Not exactly. It leaves the possibility for one or more higher beings or deities or gods or even goddesses to have created it. It doesn't instantly rule out all other possible higher beings. However, in addition to leaving room for god, it leaves room for millions of other possibilities, such as other alien life being involved in the making of the big bang.
Science isn't perfect, it doesn't tend to give immediate answers like religion tends to do and so scientists are still at work in trying to determine the origin of the Earth and the universe.

There are more problems with this argument than with the first part of your post. First, why would have time been distorted way back when and somehow manage to no longer be distorted? The only way for time to be distorted is if space (or possibly also the universe) got distorted. What do you propose to be the cause of this distortion? Second, you're assuming that the Earth existed long ago when in reality, it didn't. Third, if for some reason Earth was rotating slower back then, what made it speed up its rotations and likewise, what made it decrease its rotations?
The part of the bible saying that everything happened in seven days is open to interpretation. Some may cling to it word-for-word as you're doing but others may use it as a metaphor for saying the God managed to make the Earth and it didn't take a long time for him to do so.

The problem with the question that you pose is that it is double-edged, meaning it not only applies for the Big Bang theory but also for the notion of god. So, what created god? What created the elements that compose him? Many people I've asked tend to answer it with something along the lines of "he always existed". That may be true but he must be composed of something.
