Who is to say that an infinite God could not use an infinite number of parallel dimensions outside of space and time as we know it to create a collision resulting in creation?

There are *a lot* of Christians that believe the "7 days" of creation in Genesis actually represent much longer periods of time. In fact, the zealots will never remind you of this, but if you look up the Hebrew word for "day" in the Genesis account you will find it can actually mean any length of time.

Most astrologers (Christian and non-Chrisitan) today believe in the Big Bang. That is a fact. It is not at odds with Christianity in any way, shape or form.
In a way I somewhat agree, because most people do believe in a big bang of sorts, but there are those who do take the word very literally.

The problem that non-believers have with words of god, is that the story is always changing yet the book remains the same. It says God created the heavens and the stars, but when someone says "Alternate dimensions collided, creating this big bang"... the Bible doesn't say that happened. The Bible also didn't say that it *didn't* happen, So people will fill in with "Maybe God did it that way". I'm not saying there's no God, but I AM saying that Biblical texts are no more proof than mere observation.
