If everything started from a Big Bang singular point (or some such Creation), and everything expands outward from there, it seems odd that two whole galaxies would find themselves intersecting — it seems more sensible that everything is diverging. Must be there is some turbulence in the expansion that causes the collisions, or perhaps some galaxies along a given radius from the original point move at different velocities, and an outer one was caught up to by in inner one moving faster.
