You make an attempt to discredit my question by turning it inside out, but it still doesn't answer the question, and in fact establishes my original point. The question addresses the belief by some that there is no possible way that God could have created the universe in 6 literal days. I say, why not? He could have done it instantaneously, for that matter. There is the account in Genensis that states that after each "day" of creation, God looked at it and pronounced it "good". Certainly, the day referred to might not be a literal 24 hour day. I never said that it "must" be. I am simply stating that to say that it "couldn't" be is to place limits on God, and shows an underlying lack of understanding of the concpt of God as a being, and as a Creator. I am not placing limitations on God. He can, and does, do as He wills, and we, a part of creation, have no say in the matter, and certainly no right to challenge Him about it. The only limitations on God are those He places on Himself, not for His sake, but for ours. Whether or not He created the universe in 6 literal days or not is not a matter that will have any real bearing on our standing before Him, or the state of our salvation (a subject which I'm not even addressing here, that's a whole other kettle of fish, as it were). What I fight for, and believe is the fact that in reality, it takes even more faith to believe in evolution and all it's attempts to explain by purely natural processes the coming into being and existence of life, than it does to believe that God created it all, and therefore there is a Creator with whom we must deal, and are responsible to. THAT is what evolutionists just can't bear, the idea that God has a right to impose control over, and expect us to be accountable for ourselves and the part of Creation placed in our care and use. Since we are a part of His Creation, we are beholden to Him, and He does have a right to have expectations of us.
God is eternal and omnipresent. Therefore, God exists outside of time and space. From his perspective, creation probably was instantaneous. In the world of matter, it took longer. Some say six days. Personally I think some what longer, many millions of years. Nevertheless it was God that created the world and all that was, is, or will be in this material world. Im not stupid enough to say all that was, is, or will be because God did not create himself.

I think what some of us are saying is that Evolution is NOT a theory that attempts to explain how life began. It didnt start out that way and if that is what you are hearing now a days its because some are attempting to force it to explain the unexplainable.
For me, in a world with time moving in one direction, its harder to accept a universe with no beginning and no end then it is a universe that was created. The idea of an infinite number of yesterdays is staggering!
