That something is far-fetched does not mean it is necessarily wrong. But at the same time, why in the world would you assume that something that is far-fetched is true? That is a greater stretch.
Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with Occam's Razor. You have access to Google so I'm not going to bother with a link. Occam's Razor is the assertion that if there are multiple possible explanations to a phenomena, the simplest explanation is most likely to be true.
The simplest explanation to the universe (or multiverse) is that we have no idea of how it originated. Pulling an explanation out of your ass with no evidence has no validity at all. God/Jesus has no more credibility than Allah, nor Vishnu, nor the Flying Spaghetti Monster, nor the Invisible Pink Unicorn.

In science, Occam's razor is used as a heuristic guide in the development of theoretical models, rather than as a rigorous arbiter between candidate models.
Given all other things equal, the more parsimonious explanation among two or more competing explanations is considered the more reasonable explanation. Whether it's really true or not is not what Occam's razor is used to determine.
By the way, pretty sure theories in science are NOT postulated, but rather "concluded" as an explanation for evidence discovered repeatedly and conclusively. Or at least they're not postulated in quantitative research.
