Not exactly. The Big Bang didn't start from "nothing" (that's the biblical view - "ex nihilo"), but from very densely packed material. Everything was there, it was just really close together.
And yes, pretty much everyone (who studies this stuff) accepts this theory these days. The evidence for the Big Bang is pretty good.
