Default Creation - What do you say?
Creation is said to have taken place in six days. After seeing the diversity in this Abrahamic thread I was wondering what does your belief say happened and how long did it take about.

I would really like to see the answers to this.
For Christians it is said to have happened at God's word and in six days. The only thing not spoken into existance was woman. God himself formed her from Adam's rib.

My belief required more time than six days, because God needed to cook the trans-helium elements in some supernovas first before he could make a metal-rich Population-1 star like our sun.

My own personal opinion......

I think He passed gas and out came the milky way unbeknownst to Him. From there He probably just started playing with it and got creative. he he

I am totally just kidding.

I think he flicked something with his index finger and caused the Big Bang, on purpose though

*Of course I have no way of backing up either of these claims/ ideas, so don't even bother askin! lol.*

I think the Earth too several billion years to come into being. The days merely refer to periods of time inwhich certain events occured. One day may have been one millions yeras, another one billion, and another one thousand.

Yes! You know I have thought about that a lot. When I went to seminary I remember the teacher talking about how the passage of time is supposed to be different once you pass through the veil. One day for us, for our loved one that has passed it might be a single second. So with that in mind you can look at the timeline for the creation of the Earth in Genesis and it makes sense. Six days from Gods perspective could translate into 6 billion years from a material/human perspective. I thought that was a very interesting/ profound idea in that particular translation of Creation. I don't know where the idea for the difference in the perception of time came from though. I don't remember.

I think the Creation story is wholly myth written well after there was an established nation of Israel. The story is about the relationship between God and Israel, and Israel's view of it's place in the cosmos.

I take the creation story fairly literaly. This is because the other scriptures I use coroborate the story. But I think there are many symbolic things in the story as well. But determining which is which is merely my personal interpretation.

Sol is a Population II star. Population I stars only cook up to iron and iron kills those stars as it accumulates causing the supernovae which transmute elements to create everything heavier than iron.

I prefer to take a literal standpoint in most cases where biblical interpretations are disputed. Some say that the 6 days are symbolic of six ages, but I really don’t think so. The Genesis account is accepted to have been written by Moses - though we don’t know for certain. Clearly Moses did not witness the events themselves, so they must have been revealed to him in one way or another. As far as the time-line is concerned, for him to embellish by substituting literal days for actual eras is unrealistic IMO.
