Don't get too hung up on poetic language versus descriptive language is science (says BM, the master of getting hung up on that).
In a few more eons (I don't know the actual time frame) most of the universe will have sped beyond the extent of the visible universe when the space between us is expanding faster than light can traverse it. If we existed in that period, it would be impossible to know about the big bang and most of cosmology, because all the evidence will have been erased.
