Being timeless, why would God need to rush things?
Concerning the creation of the earth, there has been a misunderstanding that has been tossed around in the churches for a long time. The misunderstanding is that the earth itself was created during the six “days” of creation. The Bible record indicates that the universe, the starry heavens, as well as this planet earth, were created before the first of earth’s creative days began. See for yourself at Gen.1:2
Before those 6 "days" began, the earth as well as the rest of the universe could have been in existence for billions of years.

You have accepted a lot of presuppositions. The earth is not 15 billion years old. There is no reputable evidence that can prove this. Dating methods that show old age are questionable and have a high rate of error. For example, if you have a lava flow from a volcano yesterday and conduct a potassium argon test on the lava, it will date it millions of years due to the high level of argon, yet it is only a day old. Most dating methods date in the thousands of years, not millions. There is more and more evidence that shows the earth to be less than 10,000 years old. The RATE project conducted by the ICR, revealed startling evidence that the earth is indeed very young.
Frankly, I choose to believe God and His word concerning the age of the earth and origins, since He was there, over scientists who are prone to errors and weren't there.

He could have, you have to remember as I am a science student I can explain that science is only the best guess, what is observable and what can be theorized. Lord Kelvin had a different estimate for the earth than what is required for Darwins Theory of Evolution.
This brings up an interesting point mentioned in the Qu'ran.
[010:036] And most of them follow nothing but conjecture. Certainly, conjecture can be of no avail against the truth. Surely, Allâh is All-Knower of what they do.
[010:037] And this Qur'ân is not such as could ever be produced by other than Allâh (Lord of the heavens and the earth), but it is a confirmation of (the Revelation) which was before it [i.e. the Taurât (Torah), and the Injîl (Gospel)], and a full explanation of the Book (i.e. the laws decreed for mankind) – wherein there is no doubt – from the Lord of the 'Âlamîn (mankind, jinn, and all that exists).
[010:038] Or do they say: "He (Muhammad [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam]) has forged it?" Say: "Bring then a Sûrah (chapter) like it, and call upon whomsoever you can besides Allâh, if you are truthful!"
[010:039] Nay, they have denied the knowledge whereof they could not comprehend and what has not yet been fulfilled (i.e. their punishment). Thus those before them did deny. Then see what was the end of the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong doers)!
[010:040] And of them there are some who believe therein; and of them there are some who believe not therein, and your Lord is the Best Knower of the Mufsidûn (evildoers and liars).
[010:041] And if they deny you, say: "For me are my deeds and for you are your deeds! You are innocent of what I do, and I am innocent of what you do!"
[010:042] And among them are some who listen to you, but can you make the deaf to hear – even though they apprehend not?
I hope it makes sense to you, only if God allows you to see the truth.

oremus_fratres: take your religious ideals to the religious section. We talk related to the genuine worldwide in right here. the only that's 4 and a nil.5 billion years previous, shown with the help of numerous self sufficient relationship tactics, NONE of which contain carbon relationship. And yeah, your faith did no longer build the pc you're answering on. technological expertise did. A planet like the earth ought to no longer have formed in the present day after the super bang. After the super bang, we had hydrogen and helium, yet no longer often no heavier components. the 1st stars formed, and that they have got been able to fuse components as much as carbon, yet no longer something heavier than carbon, such as oxygen, existed yet. ultimately, whilst the 1st stars had lived their lives and died out, they died in huge supernova explosions which had sufficient capability to fuse the heavy components. Now those heavy components are drifting off via area as a cloud, and at last the gravity between the little debris makes them condense right into a sparkling cloud and variety a sparkling famous individual with new planets, and in straightforward terms now do the heavier components exist interior the formation of that new planet to make a place like earth. This technique takes a protracted time. Ohh, say, approximately 10 billion years :P particular makes you think of roughly how stupid we are to think of we are particular and the universe is right here for us, does not it? present day people have existed for something like 200,000 years. that's approximately 0.00000014% of the age of the universe. Heck, that's in straightforward terms 0.00000044% of the age of the earth. we are the hot adult men on the block no be counted the way you check out it.

Who says that there was no one on earth immediately after it was created?
Why can't God have waited for a few years to put humans on earth? He's allowed to do what He likes!
Read Genesis again until you understand it!

"our planet earth is over 15 billion years old? "
That is not correct; geologic and astronomical evidence estimate the EARTH at about 4.3 billion years old. The universe is about 15 billion years old.
