According to Einstein, the Big Bang theory did not make sense because he said if you mapped the paths of the galaxies and stars back in time they would not collide at a singularity at the center of the universe, they would miss each other. Since many people accept the Big Bang theory, has it been proven that they do map onto each other? Or is there another explanation?

Well, that starting point of the big bang theory, the beginning singularity, is known to be wrong. The big bang theory is still an accurate description of what happens later. We just can't take it seriously for very early times.
