I accept the simplest, oldest explanation - God created it all, the seven days were selected to make it comprehendable for humans - God needs no conception of time.

I once saw a program hosted by a Jewish Rabbi who was also a PHD Physicist who perfectly explained the "Seven Days" in the creation of the universe. It wasn't really seven days but rather the expansion of time from the very beginning that spanned millennium as time expanded, much like a rubber band.

But if you ask me to believe in God, then I have to ask where did God come from?

I'm not trying to be a smart ass, it's a legitimate question that I have been struggling with for many years...............

I don’t know where God came from; I assume he was always there. It is interesting that he created the Earth, Adam and Eve when he basically got bored. Why did he get bored? I suspect a lot of this goes to concepts of time and space that we as humans can’t understand; even if I were agnostic, I would have to entertain the idea that the universe was created by God, since what are the alternatives? There is an order and logic that would seem impossible to spring out of nothingness; I am reminded of Rev. Bob Schuller’s statement that even if after he died and somehow found out that Judeo-Christianity was not true, he would not have altered his life one bit from the teachings of Jesus and the Bible. It was so much better than the alternatives, which is why I give my credence to the idea that God created the universe.
