POST SCRIPT to "wife"...
If is a mighty big word, isn't it?
Like: If the Bible didn't have so darn many contradictions and fairytale lies in it, it might be worthy of a second look.

Gen1: God made the heavens and everything therein,
בְּרֵא)שִׁית), בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים, אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִ, וְאֵת)
הָאָרֶץ.
The word Bara in Barashieth means to create from nothing In Gen 1, it is also used in Gen 1:28 When it talks about when God made Man
the word Asah means fix or repair and is used to to translate " in Six days the Lord madest (fixed) the Heavens and they Earth which was renfencing the resoration after lucifers fall...
No, its not evolution, any life form needs variation whithin its spiecies to ensure survival, I would bet that on any other planet you would see "variations" of all the GENISIS forms of life! What I mean by that is this, The bible never said God made all the Cats and all the Trout an all the Lions and all the Eagles and all the Tuna and all ....... You see what I mean... It says everything that creepeth on its belly and everything that swimmeth in the seas and they that flyeth in the Air and All that walketh on the Ground. That is vauge enough to encompass everything that you'd find here, and anywhere else.. It was "The" Adam
(Gods name for Man...not just that one in perticular) job to name all he animals in the Garden...... The earth
But for the real answer to your question the Bible never really says when and how long ago, the word Olam means eternity or an age and an age can be any length of years. so I imagine that it all happened in the blink of an eye, But that was very long ago and I'm sure we werent the first ants in his opnipitance's Ant farm and we wont be the last

I believe in the literal 6 days interpretation however there are many who interpret Scripture as 6 "ages" (undetermined amount of time) and this can also be an accurate understanding of the Hebrew. Either way it is a mighty work of God and not random chance that created.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth...

i could think of - it became ordinarily for our benefit. Human reason comprehends reason-then-effect greater powerful than each and every thing happening at as quickly as. as properly - who's to declare that did no longer take "a millisecond"? The account in Genesis breaks out the advent tale into 7 sessions of time time-commemorated as "Day and night". yet for the 1st 3 days there became no solar interior the sky ... so needless to say a slavish adoration of seven twenty-4 hour sessions is mindless - a danger - yet pointless. base line: + For the writer of the Universe, and as such, the writer of Time ... it particularly does not advise lots, as he's the Lord of Time. 2 Peter 3:8 yet, liked, be no longer unaware of this one concern, that at some point is with the Lord as one thousand years, and one thousand years as at some point.

it evolved and so did EVERYTHING else, however i do also believe that there are helpers out there, good and bad. SUPPOSEBLY, we evolved from apes, many herbs, bugs, fish and other forms of life evolved from single cell organisms right? so who is to say that some forms of energy hasn't evolved into forces that can create a reaction either positve or negative depending on how they are directed?

No God...just reality.. the Earth evolved, just as everything else in the cosmos.
And evolve is not a good term to use.

God created the earth in His mind in less than a millisecond, gave the authority of creation to Brahma, who created it in six days of Brahma. Each day of Brahma is equal to 8 billion, 6 hundred million of our years. So earth formed over a period of 51 billion, 600 million years.

Earth technically didn't evolve in a Darwinian sense. It formed. (The Earth did not reproduce or compete against other Earths...)

Actually both. Billions of years is a millisecond to god. How would you measure eternity in terms of years. I personally believe that if evolution is proven, it would make since that god intended his creatures to adapt to their environments.

If God want to do something he just say KUN* and that will be done.
So when God decide to create an earth he just say KUN and the earth become appear with all related other things.
*KUN is the arabic word which means to be done.
