I mean when you think about it he did quite a bit of stuff that week, I am sure he was in a bit of a rush, some days seem a bit busier than others for example; the heavens, the earth and everything in them must have been a tough day. I am just saying some things might have got a bit frantic for his Saturday deadline, what with Sunday his only day off that week, although not much creation after that week, maybe an extended break.... Anyway did he plan everything or just wing the details?

He must have left duck-billed platy-pi til last, maybe He sneezed or something. Can God get flu?

Off course he knew what he was doing. Look at earth and the surrounding planets. What was that rushed?
As for your dig at getting everything done in a week.
How does man measure time?
Ask yourself why do we need to keep on adjusting our clocks?
The difference is that God created the heavens and the earth.
Like a clock maker can stop a clock to repair it, so can god hold up the planets with ease.
Even still today man is not able to measure and suss out time.
So if we jump back say 2000 years ago how are they able to measure time.
For instance:
a man is walking towards point a
Or a man is riding on horseback to point a
Who gets there quickest?
Well it would be the man on the motorcycle.
But wait what about the man in the aeroplane?
As time progresses new discovery's are made.
That allows man to move quicker.
Yet the bottom line is, man cant control how the heavens work,
Nor can man control the earths rotation or any planet around the sun.
The best we have come up with is "Oh there light years away".
So why not give people with faith a break towords how everything was done in a week unless you of course have solved the greatest puzzle on the planet.

God is all seeing and all knowing. Remember a day in creation was 7000 years so seven days was 49.000 years. I think he went a bit wrong with flies and wasps though. But maybe that was a test! I wouldn't be suprised if God was a bit hacked off with us right now considering the amazing world he gave to us and how we have dreadfully abused it. Wouldn't you?

He never did, but to answer the question,...I would point out that the writer of this story too was neither guessing what to write along the way, nor did he know how the whole of physics worked out the cosmos. In pointing this "sillhouette" out, I here am saying that creation without Necessity is expression, and this here is what is represented to me as "Art".
I think the whole thing with god being a single parent who writes books is beyond bogus,... in fact it is an insult to my intelligence when they claim to do god"s work in convincing me that it is my logic that is irrational, as opposed to they"re fables. It is not clear yet on how logical Logic really in fact is, but faith is assumption,.. and assumption is the mother of all **** ups.

Plan - nope: ever notice a platypus? Wing it - nope: ever notice the perfect rhythym of sunset and sunrise?
God spoke it. This is the power of the word. Interesting in Genesis, chaos exists with the Spirit of God hovering over it. In the Hebrew language in which Geneis was written, Spirit and Breath are one and the same word. Spirit - Breath - Word. and Voila.

If God created everything, which I think he did then who created time & the days of the week?
It does seem to say he created everything, so did he do that first?
If so, then my good book needs an update, anyone know a good prophet, we'd better ask direct?

Personally, I think God must have quite a sense of humor ... especially if this was by design. At this point, I think that if I were a Christian, I would be rooting for evolution, anything to draw attention away from what they imply is God's doing. Hmmmmmm.

Umm..interesting question. As for it being guesswork, there's absolutely no hint of guessing anywhere in the creation account. Read the first couple chapters of Genesis.

It might explain why most ancient mythologies hold that this reality is their gods' fourth or fifth "creation"....their gods took a look at their first efforts and decided to destroy them...they could do better...
Also...there were strick union rules back then...
and pretty shoddy materials....
so, I guess, god did the best that she could do under the circumstances.....she STILL blames the platypus on faulty blueprints..some worker spilled coffee on the spec sheet and she had to ad lib.....

I heard a joke about why man was made first. He needed to make a rough draft before his masterpeice 'women', but in answering your question I think he did some rough drafts like the horse for example just a zebra that he forgot to put some stripes on :)

your view of 7 days might be off. what did god create the first "day" light/dark. however a day to us is the earths rotation about its axis. hence a day couldnt have passed until the earth was created (assuming it was created rotating, and not stationary until sun/moon and universe was created for it to rotate with). so those 7 days could have been billions of days in our time. however in the bible the times of noah the world wide flood, god looked at mankind and was displeased (which is why he flooded) if he MEANT to make us like this, then i guess he MEANT to displease himself?
