Many years ago I postulated my own theory on that. One day God decided to tell the world how he came to create the universe. He picked a random shepherd. Why he didn't pick the head of a major city-state, I don't know. Maybe he didn't like any of them. We'll call this random shepherd "Abraham" (or "Moses" if you like). So anyway, one day God appears to this guy, and says he wants to tell him how it was done. But God has a problem. This shepherd (or the most advanced learned man of the time) isn't going to understand quantum physics or string theory. Heck, I don't understand them and I have the benefit of thousands of years of developed science. So God decides to show him instead, filling his head with images of the Big Bang. Abraham sees this and scratches his head, then writes "God said 'Let there be light!' And there was light."
