How Did God Create the Whole World in 1 Week?
Question:
How did God create the whole world in 1 week? Could He have made it in 1 or 2 years?
Answer:
Dear Kendra,
I’m glad to see you know the Bible account of Creation. The book of Genesis says that God created everything in six days and rested on the seventh day. He did this to give humans a pattern for their week. You are right, He could have taken 1 or 2 years, or 13 billion years. The Bible tells us, however, that He only took one week. You see, God is all-powerful. He could have created our Universe in one second if He wanted. In fact, He could create a billion Universes in one second if He wanted. One reason He did it the way He did was so that humans could have the idea, from the beginning of Creation, that a week is seven days. Thanks for your good question.
