No thats actually the current best theory based on the orbit, the makeup of lunar soil etc. The old theory. the one I was taught for instance is that the moon was captured, as most moons are. The collision theory successful explains the EXACT orbit the moon is in as well as the fact that it is getting farther and farther from earth.
Archeological evidence here on earth also support the collision theory in that the tidal patterns completely align with the the predicted position of the moon, the length of the days back then (they were quite a bit shorter) and other evidence. The collision theory is, in fact pretty solid.lots to support it no real science that doesn't.
If you really want to learn about here is NASAs explanation which is actually pretty understandable
