"Exodus 20 says God created the universe in 6 days and Exodus 21 says slavery is OK with God. So why are 'christians' speaking out against slavery but whole heartedly supporting 6 day creation?"

Please study the customs of that place and time.
A Hebrew could place himself in 'slavery' for period of time. Think of it as a work contract.
Jacob did it to obtain a wife.
Your making the mistake of equating the slavery that the Bible recognized (not condoned) with the slavery in America.
