Does that automatically make room for a God that created everything?
Or are there lots of other possible explanations?

If a Christian asks a stupid question, does that mean everything they believe is wrong?
No, of course not.
Likewise science, which is all about looking for better explanations and an increasingly accurate understanding of how things work.
Why should something as complex as the creation of the universe be limited to two possible explanations? That's bad science. And it's bad religion as well.

The Big Bang theory is not flawed, it is your interpretation of it. If Genesis does not describe the Big Bang I do not know what does? The main difference is that the Big Bang purports that the event is random whereas Genesis describes it as God's will! If you were to substitute "random" for "Will" there is frankly no difference, but in some ridiculous way the theory of Creation is unscientific and the Big Bang is highly scientific. It is six of one and half a dozen of the other !

Of course not, it just means that the theory has to be revised or that it's been pushed to its limits and we need another theory.
HOWEVER! The big bang theory doesn't necessarily exclude God in the first place. Perhaps the story of Creation is metaphorical, perhaps God has a hand in all that happens.
Think of it as if we were on a two dimensional plane, like cartoons, and a three-dimensional being were to pass through our dimensions. What would we see? A circle that gets bigger and smaller, and no matter how hard we tried, we wouldn't be able to fully grasp the concept of a sphere and that it still exists on another plane though we don't see it. See the connection?

It doesn't matter whether or not the big bang theory is correct -- one can always posit a god that defined the way the universe runs. Or, with exactly as much evidence (none!), posit that thers is no such thing. Neither belief can have any consequences in the real world, so you are free to pick. But it is simpler to just ignore the issue.

We'd have to see. There are some steady-state theories still floating around that can explain the observations of a big bang but they require many 'a priori' agents so Occam's razor currently rules them out.

Unless god created 1,000,000,000,000's of solar systems and planets no.
Why isn't there a 3rd, 4th, 5th other option? Because we haven't been given one yet. The 2 posed are the only two that are considered rational simply because they have been talked about for a long time.
However Quantum Mechanics shows much proof for Big Bang.

The logical necessity of a Creator remains, whether the Creator used the Big Bang as the means of bringing the cosmos into existence or not. The point is that from a scientific perspective, no event occurs without a pre-existing cause. Therefore the Big Bang needed a pre-exiting cause or it could not have occurred.

The Big Bang theory is flawed because it didn't happen the way they described it, God was already aware of what Satan will try to do, and he let Satan to begin attracting one more energy to him?, Energy that then will continue attracting the others This mean that Satan use another being, living energy, and he will observed how all energies where to be suck into his terrains and domains, remember that the was occupy by Satan and his followers before the creation of paradise, of course Satan ignorance, will produce the reverse results for his self, because God will wait until all the matter was absorbed as well than energies and then God, will free the prime matter from the whole mess and the explosion became effective, living Satan and the beast with nothing to show for their effort to keep control of the matter's, substances of matter's, energies and elements.

Big Bang does not preclude God. For all we know, the Big Bang was HOW God did it.

God caused the big bang. The laws, actions of the universe were created by God (gravity, evolution, etc.)
