You are using the word theory wrong. (or rather you are conflating the scientific use and the colloquial)
A scientific theory must have some explanitory power (eg the big bang explaining cosmic background radiation etc) God has none of this. There is no explanation with "God did it". We can't make and predictions and test them based on God as the answer.
The colloquial use of the word as an unproven guess is more like a scientific hypothesis than a theory

No a theory is an idea that cannot be proven fact can be proven that's why evolution is a fact there are plenty of theory's by nasa and other scientists that have no evidence like multiple universe dark matter that the universe is a computer so god is a theory cause no one knows what was before the universe so who's to say that it isn't a god you don't know no one does that is why it's a theory just like every thing else

"A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is acquired through the scientific method and repeatedly tested and confirmed through observation and experimentation." Evolution is a theory that explains the facts (such as diverse lifeforms existing and sharing dna etc). A theory isnt an unproven idea it is an explanation of facts, it provides predictions and explanations. In the example of evolution it provides an explanation of how massively diverse lifeforms can share so much genetic similarities and predictions can be made from it (tiktaalik was found by someone working from a prediction based on evolution theory). Gravity is a theory (that explains why when you drop something it falls to the ground etc). If there is no evidence for something then it is not a scientific theory (certainly not a robust one like atomic/gravitational/evolutionary theories) it is a hypothesis. - "In science, a hypothesis is an idea or explanation that you then test through study and experimentation. Outside science, a theory or guess can also be called a hypothesis. A hypothesis is something more than a wild guess but less than a well-established theory."
