One author (can’t remember his name) examined the implications of time dilation. According to relativity theory, time can proceed differently for different observers. We, on earth now, may have experienced time very differently than someone elsewhere in the universe.

The author asks what would time (and events) look like as seen from the moment (location?) of creation. He concludes that it matches the biblical narrative pretty well.

Your "author" sounds like Gerald Schroeder ("Genesis and the Big Bang")...

We agree; relativity makes it possible for me to be comfortable with both the Biblical account of creation -- and, with our measured/estimated age of the universe of 13.7 +/- billion years. In fact, that is how I illustrated the concept in this frame from my graphical presentation/movie-in-progress,

"GENESIS I: The Most Outrageous Claims Ever Made
...a scientist looks at the first four verses..."

I note that I FTP'd that image into my domain's webspace on 31-Aug-2013 -- and I'm still working on the presentation... '-)

Of course, it is nigh-unto impossible for us to define the Creator's reference frame. (I assume that, at minimum, He occupies another dimension -- and, is not [as we are] constrained by "C" , the speed of light...)
