You'd have thought he could just snap his fingers and 'shazzam!'. And why did he need to rest on the 7th day?

He created everything so he could watch the NFL on Sunday. Then the idiot Christians came along and told everyone they had to go Church on Sundays. So, God created Monday Night Football

He did not create the earth in 6 days. If you will look carefully at the Genesis account, you will notice that the heavens and the earth were already in existence BEFORE the first creative day started. See Gen. 1:2. The six days mentioned in Genesis chapter one have nothing to do with the creation of the earth. Instead, they are large time periods that Jehovah used to get the earth ready for animal and human habitation. They were not 24-hour periods.

relies upon on the view you're taking. Orthodox non secular human beings could say scientists are incorrect and the advent of the universe become performed in 6 days inspite of what scientists or any others might say. yet be conscious that we evaluate 24 hours to be a 'day' or a photograph voltaic day on the grounds it quite is how long it takes the earth to rotate around the sunlight (greater properly it quite is 23h 56m 4s). till now the advent of the universe, the sunlight or the earth a definite term can not be seen to be a photograph voltaic day or 'day'. for this reason once you're seeking to combine non secular texts with clinical findings - then you definately might say that the "days" reported in non secular scripts are of diverse length then what we planned to be a 'day'.

He did just snap his fingers....by the way He created everything. The Earth only took Him one day. He rested because He was done on the 7th day, also showing us we can rest too when we are done. We are done when we leave here and stand in God's presence.

First of all God is timeless. The seven days was how it was explained so us mere mortals so we could understand that it took longer. God rested on the seventh to set up the Sabbath, the day of rest, to honor Him for all He has done for us.

You take all the power out of poetry by turning it into prose. The story is not historical but it is mythological. Mythology works on a deeper level.

One Divine day equals 1000 years in human time.
He actually created it in 6000 years of our time.

God had the choice and it was his phasing to make things within six days.

It was a union thing...work to rule. He couldn't show up all the other gods in the megaverse by doing it too quickly.
