I think its because God doesn't have a magic wand that will just "poof" everything that He wants to create. I dont think that He said, "Oooh, i want a big big big sun that will brighten up the universe... ooohh!" and poof!! there came the sun.
There are certain things in the world that requires a lot of time to be created.

He had help. All of this cosmic debris that we now see through telescopes in additional advantageous type become once trapped interior a "field" for eons. somewhat boy happened alongside on a course he had by no potential taken before and spoke of this curious, non-descript, little timber field. He picked it up and become about to open it at the same time as he heard voices telling him to go back to his unique course. in a lengthy time period (about 1/2 an eon later), he chanced on his unopened field putting on a shelf with different a lot less-ideal prizes he had collected (over the eons.) Having some loose time on his hands, he determined to open it. It become like a puzzle field he had once considered contained in the possession of yet another boy (eons in the past.) He fiddled with it (for some eons) with out success, and positioned it decrease back on the shelf. It sat there (for tens of millions of eons) untouched, getting older. ultimately, at the same time as the boy become an previous guy, he chanced on it again, on an afternoon that he were requested to finish some miracle out of nowhere. So he determined to open this field and create some form of miracles employing even with contents were interior. The previous hands pryed the lid up, and interior were a cosmic brew of one hundred or so uncooked elements by no potential before known to his style. He uttered the words, "improve and boost in perpetual, chaotic splendor" and forged the elements out with a wave of his hand, like ashes to the wind from a mountaintop. And some thing, as they say, is heritage. You do have self assurance all this, do not you? and also you recognize that it truly is in basic terms as in all danger a narrative as the different human has had to furnish us, eh?

The stories in Genesis are not to be taken literally. Their purpose is to teach us of our origin with God, of creation, the fall of mankind, and the promise of salvation.
God bless.

It's not that time is stretched beyond the physical, but that time doesn't exist as we know it beyond the physical because beyond the physical there is no need for a frame of reference for decomposition of matter (which time is).
