Scientists are daily discovering the formation of new galaxies and I wonder if any of them are beginning to rethink the Big Bang Theory.

Interesting links given below.
An alternative to the BB, and a possibly more soundly
based one as well, was proposed as long ago as 1992.
BB really does have far too many ( black! ) holes in it
to be a credible theory. However, as far as I am
aware, the intellectual war going on between the
Cosmologists, Astronomers, Theoretical Physicists
and Mathematicians, is still raging.
By the way Amanda H, I happen to disagree with your
definitions. So, as it happens, does dictionary.com. ;o)

They are discovering the creation of new galaxies? Perhaps they are discovering new (as in unobserved) galaxies every day, but I don't know whether any scientists have observed galaxies in the process of forming.
In addition, the Big Bang wasn't exactly a huge explosion. It was the start of the inflation of the universe. You probably know that the universe is expanding (and is expansion is accelerating according to relatively recent observations)...now, try rewinding this expansion and you get to a single point known: the big bang singularity. The big bang (as we know it) is just the inflation from this singularity...it led to the creation of galaxies, but it itself did not create them.

The big bang is generally accepted as having been the source of all matter in the universe. Galactic formation is anatural process that has been occurring sinceafterthe big bang, and is a complete different process.
A theory is not a guess. A conjecture is a guess. A hypothesis is an educated guess. A theory is a hypothesis that has credible evidence to back it up, and has no evidence to specifically disprove it.

Current theories have the big bang as creating the whole universe and the matter in it. If it had just created our galaxy, then our galaxy would be flying apart - that is not what we observe. The reason we find more and more galaxies is down to improvements in our instruments. They are more sensitive and so are able to see progressively dimmer objects.

No. All the evidence to support Big Bang theory comes FROM those distant galaxies - not from our own.

yes...er no or... I dont know i think it created the universe cause if the big bang creatd our galaxy, it would still be too hot and our earth would be like all melty like venus. The big bang created many galaxies to share all of the heat

Not a chance. A theory is a guess. As a scientist, you decide if you are for or against that guess. Then you spend 20 years trying to prove your opinion is right.

The explosion was localized, the effects were universal.

this is as easy as "what's the highest number?", TIME DOES NOT EXIST. therefore creation and everything else is relative. beginning of a 3-d universe..shall i go on?

The start of everything including time.
