The Bible does indeed say that the world was created in six days, although we have to ask was this six literal days? In 2 Peter 3:8 it says, "With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day." (NIV) This tells us that God is not bound by time, and therefore works outside of it's boundaries. I think the whole "six days" is indicative that creation, at least the heavens and the earth part, was done in six stages. Could it have been six literal days, of course! Could it have been six thousand years, according to the above Bible verse maybe. What's important is that God created. He created scientifically, as everything was created in a chain of events; He created thoughtfully; He created beautifully; in short God created. A lot of people waste a lot of time on this issue. They argue six days vs. six stages vs. six thousand years and so on. My answer to this is marvel in creation, but at the end of the day we have much bigger fish to fry. We need to be more concerned about mercy and justice and loving one another, as well as following after Jesus. God bless you Rob, keep the comments coming!

If Adam was one day old when he was created, but looked older, I believe that God could also make the earth to 'look old' too. Certainly, this is within His power. The bible says 6 days; it was 6 days. Cheers, Rob I believe that God created the earth in 6 days.
