Yes. Various religions have different opinions on the origin of the universe.

Among scientists the most famous competing theory is the "Steady State" theory (also known as the infinitive universe theory). It was put forward by Hoyle, Bondi and Gold. The main concept behind the Steady State theory is that matter is continuously created which makes the universe expand.

Lemaitre (a Belgian Roman Catholic Priest) proposed the original concept behind the Big Bang. Albert Einstein is credited with proposing the theory of general relativity which is the framework and the mathematical equations are generally credited to Friedman.
