God created the world in 7 days. Define "Day"

They keep harping about god being all-loving and yet there is a hell?
Then they harp on about him being all-powerful and yet the devil is still around. Plus creating the universe in 7 days implies that he isn't all powerful.
They harp on about god being all-knowing and yet they say god designs but if you know everything why would you need to design anything? Also whats the point in prayer if he already knows what you want?

None of it makes any sense.

I was browsing the forums and came across a mention of how christians always say "god created the universe in 7 days" but, what is a day exactly? He created the universe in 7 earth days? A day is different on every planet, it's longer shorter etc etc, so we measure the time of a day from that on earth by itself?

Evidently this "7 days" crap is further proof that the creation story was created by earth bound humans who believed the world was flat and had no notion of the time differences in terms of a day as they appear on other planets.

I'm throwing that out there; another huge flaw in the story Wink
