I believe his methods are so far advanced it wouldn't have taken him quite that long. 8 * )

Is God impatient? Has he not been in existence forever? What would he do in forever, except patiently wait on his creation to develop?

God's time is forever. Humans think in human time periods. I think He took millions of years, and His methods are best described by scientific Evolution.

I think evolutionary theory it's self points to a Creator. The fact that man now thinks that everything came from a few cells points to one Creator of everything. If everything appears related, it is because the same Mind created it all. I just don't buy the 'millions of years' at this point.

The original Hebrew language contains a number of different words for the English word "day". Things like "in the days of…" or "it'll take all day to do …" did not use the Hebrew word that signifies a 24 hour period. Genesis, however, does use the Hebrew word for 24 hour time period in describing the 6 days of creation so I tend to believe that's what it meant.

P.S.
Evolution - creation: it's all about faith.
If I'm wrong about God and His creation then I guess I wasted a lot of time.
If I'm right, atheists are in big trouble.
