FWIW, according to Genesis 1:5, before God created the earth, there were no days. He created time along with space and matter all on the first day. And He took 6 days to complete his creation, instead of doing it instantly, so we could have a day of rest. In case you are persuaded that he took billions of years to do what he plainly claimed was 6 days, reckon how plants survived without the sun, or CO2 generating animals, or pollinating insects? And why did He reiterate 6 days in exodus 20:11, the 4th commandment?
Ok.
Did God create that which we now call the laws of physics? Did he abide by those in creation or just make everything work right afterward?
One of the most stunning proofs of gods creation is the beauty and consistency of incredibly complicated and yet simple natures of the universe. Do you realize this universe was set in motion billions of years ago and is perfect to support our existence today against all odds? There is more awe in my mind at creation when you consider God started it billions of years ago with Devine precision and his creation is perfect t in its culmination of us.
If you want to say it was more like a magic trick in the beginning just as genisis lays it out, well then God bless you. For me that cheapens the majesty and wonder of what God is capable of.
