"The bible says God created the universe in 6 days, so it has to be in 6 days."
Read it again. In the beginning God created the heavens and earth.
No where here does it say when the beginning is or was. What follows is an event described. AND the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. This word 'was' should be became cause there was a rebellion, note that word 'darkness' we are told who is darkness.
Then comes a description of cleaning up a MESS, because it does not say again the heavens and earth were created.
The first verse in full context would be down thru verse 5, which ends with "the evening and the morning were the first day."

No, read it again. There is no mess to clean up. God created raw materials then set about through six days to use those raw materials to make something - finished products. There is no place mentioned any rebellion. That's something you're introducing that is not only unsupportable by the text; but, outright refuted by the text. You read just far enough to get yourself in trouble and when your lie is pointed out, you've nowhere to go with it. Death didn't come till Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden AFTER the creation - AFTER the first 7 days of existance. If you have a rebellion and God destroyed everything, then death exists before Adam Sinned. There is no place you can find any support for such a blaring contradiction. And it calls God a liar - something that God cannot, by his very nature, be.
