If God didnt do anything beforehand or has done nothing since shouldnt he have took more time to get it right?
And what was a day before he created earth & sun etc.?

Well, if the universe is about 13.5 billion years old, that would mean that a day to God is 2.25 billion years. We was working for a while-- and now he just started his day of rest...

The 6 'days' have nothing to do with time but probably are a symbolic code for the structure of elementary cycles.
If the six days really were related to time as we are aware of, there should be explained when he created time before he could start to create within it.
On the other hand, one could argue, that since God did not create time, telling, that God completed creation within six days is a willfull idea and pretext of some ancient rulers to make and controle a common herd of unsuspecting people to pay tributes and interests for nothing within certain periods. Remember the saying : 'Time is Money' - 'But who's time is who's money?
What was the day before God started to create ? There was no day before at all. The idea of time is a late after- or subresult of the creation and has probably nothing to to with creation at all. Time is not something God needs to create. Time is not a condition to start anything at all, it is a comparatively recent human invention and there were civilizations without the notion of time westerners are accustomed and trained to accept and obey to nowadays.
Well, that's neither a theory nor a teaching. It's just a somehow eccentric approach to your question.

Who is to say they were literally "days" as we see them? The early people didn't even go by a solar calander, it was lunar. and before the sun and moon? well who can say what a day was? Assuming one believes in God and Creation, then one also beleives that God's time is not relevant to human time. One day could have been billions of years!
One theory: that in the bible, the man who wrote Genesis explained what happened in the context of days because that is how long it took God to show him what He did. think about it, a lowly human, trying to understand the magnificant things that created the Earth? jeez It'd take me longer than a week. The bible is laced with messages from God in the form of visions. maybe the man got a vision, and it took 6 days to see it all?
Just a thought.

A day to God could be thousands of years to us. You have no idea how long it really took God. No one was really there. All we know is this exsistence, You really don't know if God created anything else, beside what we know. If we Limit God, it is a sin against God. We have small finite minds that we have already been told by the Bible to not try to fathom God, it is more than we can imagine. Accept that and move on, You either have Faith or you don't.

Since (not if) God created everything in 6 days, that was the perfect time frame for creation, and no rush. Once he created time, the day was 24 hours.

Probably because God is poetic. The number 6 would probably sound nicer in the scriptures compare to 'God created the world in a blink of and eye.' Even so, we would be questioning, 'Why would god take the time to blink an eye to create everything. Wouldn't he be able to create everything in an instance?' Now god has to explain to the people of earlier days, the definition of an instant or zero time. Do you see where this would have been going?

I think it's not correct to put our conception of days and nights on anything. We have to remember that these words were written to be understood by people who lived thousands of years ago. Everything is not literal.
Suffice it to say, that given the breadth of the universe, and the abundance of life and the progress we humans have made, I think God did an excellent job.
It is the people who continue to screw around with things based on our fear and arrogance.
As far as what happened before days existed, that question is even daunting for our theoretical physicists. They prefer to say that before the big bang, time and space didn't exist, and therefore the question is irrelevant.

God created everything in 6 days and mistakenly left "Life "on earth.Since then nothing seems to go right.
On mask of "safety concern" everybody has built up Deadly Wepons, for the rush to get over as early as possible.

He was in a rush because he was going on Holiday to Butlins the next Day and heard there might be a Train Strike
