I've always imagined a conversation between the Lord and Moses going something like this:

The Lord: So, around fifteen billion years ago I got around to creating the universe. Within the first one billionth of a second, I had the fundamental forces established, such as nuclear forces, gravitation, and electro-magnetism.

Moses: O Lord, what is a billion?

The Lord: Ah, a billion is a one followed by nine zeroes.

Moses: O Lord, what then, is a zero?

The Lord: Hmm.

The Lord: In the beginning, I created the heavens and the earth...

LOL! I like your posting...yeah I could imagine Moses staring blankly if God had gotten to technical...indeed he had to hide Moses in the cleft of the rock so that Moses could only see the "hinder parts" of God. Seeing His Face would have been way too "technical" for Moses, causing Moses to lapse into nonexistence!
