God was not bound by normal processes during the creation events. In fact, creation was a miracle of the first magnitude. God spoke and the universe came into existence. God spoke and mature plants and animals were formed. God spoke and mankind was created. This argument is not worthy of dispute.

Sure it is, since no one was there at the time God created anything, except for man, and he didn't write it all down at the time.

Genesis was written so that man may understand what God did, in a way that they could understand it. I don't believe it is meant to be a literal history of God's creation, though some may interpret it that way.

Interpreting it as God creating life, and that life growing over a period of time isn't incompatible with one's belief that God, indeed, DID create the universe, and everything in it, as written in Genesis.

You must have a very, very ,small god if he cannot do what the science of men says is impossible.

my God on the other hand is able to create laws that we must be bound by. He is not bound by these laws because he created them.

You see, I have a very, very, very BIG GOD , and he can do anything, even create the world and all that exists in it in 6 days. Heck he even got done in time to rest on the 7th day.

"God spoke and mature plants and animals were formed. God spoke and mankind was created. This argument is not worthy of dispute."

So, did He just give the order, or did He actually participate in creation?
