Well, not in how the theory applied to the period of time before Planck time.
As for what went before, that is uncertain. Best evidence from Hawkings concession on Black holes is an extra dimensional realm, meaning our universe is expanding like a bubble in a glass of beer. Of course, not how you or I perceive it... indeed description is incommunicable where it is even comprehensible (which it isn't... almost like the most consistent definitions of God!

If indeed you assume that God was behind it, he could no more interact with this universe than you can perceive of a three or two dimensional lifeform... in our logical and temporal means of understanding, such a lifeform couldn't exist. Of course, as an objectivist, that means nothing to you so you'll find it hard to address it from that viewpoint.
