Do those that believe in a literal six days of creation believe that God needed to rest every evening from his labor of creation or did he have better things to do? If he's God why did he create the heavens and earth over a period of time. Why not just speak the word and poof there are Adam and Eve enjoying their apple. To me its easier to believe that God created the universe through an evolutionary process than it is to believe that God toiled for six literal days when if He is God, all he had to do speak it and it was so. Those that trash evolution seem to be putting restrictions on God. It's like they are saying if God has to use or chooses to use a process like Evolution to create the universe and Man, then why is He so special? Isnt that kind of thinking why Man fell in the first place?
You know, I've not heard the point you made about "rest." I am in total agreement with you about "limiting God," but the thought that He "rested" seems interesting...
Good post!
