If you mean "for all time" then yes, since current theories state that time itself began with the Big Bang, which was the expansion of space/time and the "start" of the universe we live in.
If you mean instead "for infinity" (i.e. no start, no end) then the question is rather unanswerable, although it does form several philosophical questions, such as how you can ever get to a finite point in time (as we experience) when you have no reference on the infinite timeline.
What if I told you The Big Bang Theory is just Roman Catholic Propaganda that is wanting in terms of evidence.
What if I told you the very fellow who coined the term "Big Bang" to discredit it shut the fuck up after he saw the almost completely perfect black body spectrum of the cosmic microwave background radiation (and the imperfections themselves, called anisotropies, are themselves further confirmation of the theory)?
