A more likely explanation is that until this time the earth was covered by clouds which prevented these bodies from being seem from the earth and this cloud cover was now removed.

No, a more likely explanation is that your book is complete bullshit. What would clouds covering the earth have to do with anything? Who the hell would have been there to see anything?

Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?

Erm, by what process did God transform the Earth, with a total surface area of 5.1 × 10^8 km2, from a chaotic condition to one which supports life IN SIX DAYS? Does anyone else see a problem here?

By the process of bullshitization.

God said "Let there be light" but Chuck Norris said "Let there be God".

I think the whole question can be cleared up with yet another look at my website which goes into great detail about this and all biblical related topics giving a clear and logical explanation..

A. It didn't.

My thoughts upon reading the title of this thread exactly. Maybe I'm a genius too! I doubt it, though. Sad

Scientifically yes, theologically no, indeed why did god take six days to create the universe when he could have done it in a instant.
