You've misread what I said in an earlier post -- I made it quite clear God could have created all in a blink of His eye -- I refuse to limit God.
I see the bud of your problem is that you don't accept God's Word as Truth. You may say you do, but you don't. God inspired all of the Bible and preserved it for all generations. What is there is what He wanted to be there. So the literal 24 hour days in the Bible come FROM GOD through Moses. It's not Moses personal understanding of events that is recorded.
Again, six literal days fits all the evidence that we have. There is nothing to honest scientists that refutes Biblical Creation. Yet the evolutionary model has to keep changing to adapt to new evidence that flies in the face of what was taught before.
You said I am "simply assuming Man's logic is infallible" when in fact nothing is further from the truth of what I'm saying. Man IS fallible -- and when we take man's ideas (Evolution) and try to cut and paste God's Truth to fit the flawed ideas of man, then we have a problem.
If I bring up politics, it's for example -- and just as valid as using any other analogy.
"I refuse to limit God."
You misread my post, you limited God by saying He could not lie. You also will not accept that God, as well as creating things in the blink of an eye, can create things over long periods of time.
I do accept God's Word as Truth. What I don't blindly accept is the words of men held in Mesopotamia away from their own tribes for a couple generations.
Yes, God inspired the Bible, but don't you think it's possible for Man to screw it up somewhere along the line? Man wrote it down after all. Or did you forget the fact that there is more than one language the Bible is written in?
Moses didn't record the events, his followers did. The Hebrew tribes had an oral tradition until about 900 B.C., Moses was around in the 1,200's I believe, I'll have to check my notes.
And yes, Man's logic is fallible. BTW, you're of Man. So was the hand that put Genesis to paper. And the one after it and the one after it and so on. If you've ever played a game of telephone, you will know that it will change, even if the general message remains, something changes.
I accept the Word of God as Truth. I also accept the Word of God may have been simply put into Man's context for simpliciy's sake.
If you feel that putting politics in is for example, then I have this to say: The KKK and the Nazi Party use(d) literal quotes from the Bible to excuse their hatred. Slavery was backed by parables in the New Testament. The Church has a history of waging war to convert or kill those that would not believe.
Myself, I believe God and my relationship to Him is between myself and Him. And when I am married, He will be a part of that as well. However, organized religion is a human device, and should be recognized as such. I do not mean to discredit the MANY good and great things from the Church over history, but keep in mind, even the Pope is fallible.
"Again, six literal days fits all the evidence that we have."
How about the fact that physics is a property God gave existance? I feel God gave us that for a reason. How does your view that we've been around for only 5000 years fit into the idea of stars that have died 10,000 years ago? Why would God have things like that there?
