Snot Theory is a metaphor for theories that don't stand up to scientific Scrutiny. It's used in a response to the argument, "No one knows the answer so you can't prove my answer isn't right."
Snot Theory is the hypothesis that the Big Bang was caused by a deity sneezing and that the universe was created out of snot. Of course we all know it's snot true. So if someone makes a "God of the Gaps" argument or postulates a theory without any logical support, we would call their idea Snot Theory.
