T.T. 64. Did God 
really create the earth in six days?
When I first read in the Bible that 
God created the earth in six days and then rested on the seventh, I was shocked. 
I thought “Why did He take so long, and why did He then take a rest for a day? 
For most of my life I was an 
atheist, but once I started believing in God then, by definition, I understood 
that He was all powerful and could do absolutely anything instantly, and would 
never need to rest.
Why then did God take six days to 
create the earth, rather than doing it in a split second? I believe that it was 
to set us an example of how we should organise our lives. He has designed us in 
such a way that we can work (or study) for six days without any harm coming to 
our bodies or minds – provided we make it a habit to take a rest, or break, from 
our normal activities one day in every seven. That is the reason we have a seven 
day week.
In the past some countries, such as
