Large-scale mapping of galaxies suggests that the universe
consists of big "soap bubbles", with clusters of galaxies
forming the skin, and with very large empty voids inside
the bubbles.
The last theory I heard suggests that galaxies formed along
cosmic strings, which are sorta like "stretch marks" caused
by the growth of the universe.

Good question. When astronomers calculate things like the age
of stars and other astronomical objects, they rely on a chain of
assumptions, where any of those assumptions could be off -- a
lot like the Big Bang itself. ;-) However, from what I understand,
there are several independent pieces of evidence that suggest the
BB happened. The age of stars, even when it looks like they're
older than the universe, does not carry quite as much weight as
all the other evidence for the BB.

I've read the theory that magnetic fields cause the spiral structure.

See above. ;-)
