I couldn't verify scientifically that information, but if he's supposed to be all powerful then why do we limit him by our own imaginations?

There'd be no point. Scientific evidence shows how planets etc. came into their current form and how worlds evolved. Therefore I believe in the application of science and theology beyond that. I believe God only "interfered" a few times in the world in the whole of its history: once when he created the first particles and the laws of physics etc. Once when he first created simple life from those particles (and set off evolution). And once when he breathed intelligence into apes to create humans. Therefore why should he create the world in 7 days when he can just start it off and let the laws of physics etc. do the rest.
