The creation of the actual planet Earth was begun on Day 1-Genesis 1:1. The land was created on the 3rd day of creation-Genesis 1:9-10. The other planets and the stars were all created on the 4th day -Genesis 1:14-19. Therefore the answer to your question is that God used one day to create each.
Shelby: No, all Christians do not believe in the millions of years garbage.The Hebrew grammar of Genesis 1 and the rest of the OT does not allow for such belief.Everytime this word for day is used in conjunction with a number in the OT, and every time this Hebrew word was used in conjunction with the Hebrew word for evening and morning in the OT-together or separately- it always means a literal solar day. There are no exceptions.

OK...if "God" didn't make the stars and stuff until the 4th day, then how do we know how long the 1st 3 days were? So...Earth, even according to the Christians, could be millions of years old, because, even according to Scripture, those first 3 days could have been infinitely long.

Using that same idea, we don't know how He took making either the Earth or the Universe. Then again...some Christians believe that there is no Universe...just us, here, on Earth. If you ask me, those are also the ones that STILL consider the Inquisition, Holocaust, Crusades, etc., beneficial to humankind.

On the first day God created the heavens (other planets) and the Earth. So if you're a Christian and believe the Bible to be God's word, the answer is 1.

A day where? In the polar areas of Earth, a day lasts 6 months. When it's daylight in the US, it's night time in India.

Are you talking about days on other planets? There are planets near other stars that are tidally locked, meaning they always show the same face to their sun, much like the moon always shows the earth only one face. On those worlds, there is no such thing as a "day."

So where was God supposed to be doing this supposed "work?"

dunno.

"in the beginning God made the heavens and the earth"

I don't know how long that in particular took, but all that matters is that he did it, not random chance.

I'm sure he was focusing on his prize creation: Earth. That's why it supposedly took longer. Wouldn't you spend more time making something that will grow and develop that you can watch and love more than a bunch of shiny things?

Praise God.

Easy. The heavens were created in one day so 1 divided by 7. Your answer is - 85% of God's time was spent making earth and 15% of his time was spent making the rest of the universe plus resting. Trust me, I know this one.

This is one of my favorites. Even if you measure it in "eons of time" it still says it took god about half as long to make all the quaasars, black holes, billions of planets, stars, moons, asteroids belts, comets etc than it did to make humans.

We are just THAT spectacular. And complex! It must be harder to get the skin on than it looks...

The way God describes creation;it's more than likely that when He says the earth;it means all the earths,not just one particular planet.

God made the Earth on the first day, and later added all the frilly stuff.

He made the stars and stuff on the fourth day.

So, maybe a few hours.

I'm not a Christian but I'm only here to tell you the RIGHT answer since Christians have a bad habit at giving lame and wrong answers.

And the answer is *drum roll*: god doesn't exist, therefore he couldn't have made the earth if he was never there

It's pretty simple
