I don't understand "why" a lot of you say the things you say, but that does not mean you did not say (type) them. That being said, we are given the reason for God's pattern of creation. God will use numbers symbolically, He always uses the number 7 to symbolize perfection. So a creation week of 7 days (the 7th being a day of rest) makes sense in that regard. He also created in this pattern to give His people a blue print to follow. The Jews works hard for 6 days and rested on the 7th, the reason they were given to do this was because God did it that way.
I'm going to enjoy this.

Where is the point in that? I could put together a wardrobe in 10 minutes (max). I have the knowledge and power to do that. It would be pointless if I spent 6 whole fucking days on it just to fucking symbolise something that it utterly pointless and useless. If god could just create everything instantly, why don't he? Why the messing around?
You know what I smell? Complete bullshit! What a load of bollocks.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
