Indeed, time is relative to the space that one occupies. I didn't asked the question as to why God didn't just snap his hands, I made the statement that he did not, cause it is quite obvious that he didn't! I believe in God very strongly, I disagree with religious organizations very strongly! I believe most of the bible stories are that to convey morality, not nessisarily to convey true actual events, although true actual events are part of the bible as well! Any scholar whom has studied the bible will tell you it contains many contradictions, as it should, it was written by many different people with their own personal experiences with God! Story of creation, was given in the most simplest why it could be comprehended at the time! 7 days really means nothing, it was not meant to be taken litteraly other then the point that it took some time, even if you try to match up say 1 day equals 6 billion years, the numbers don't match up, over looking the story itself the only way to do it would be to make each day a different interval of years, and that just doesn't make any sense, it makes more sense as to what I said prior, the story was told to the best of their comprehention at that time. I also believe that creating everything from the ground up, was the only way that God could do it! Theirs nothing wrong with this view, in fact it tends to make everything that more precious and wonderful!

Oh...sorry I misunderstood you then dear...no I def don't believe in all the stories in the literal sense...I think they were meant to be figurative...I mean Jesus spoke in parables...so it makes sence...I was just sharing an idea that I heard that I found interesting

You are correct, but it doesn't make humans bad or anything. Living organisms, inherently, are selfish. The purpose of life is to continue, and that needs the trait of self-preservation. It's soooooo neat that out of a few simple grows all the splendor of every facet of life that we see today.

I don't beleive that it does make humans bad but it does mean a person can boost their ego at the expense of others rather than boosting both their own and others egos at the same time, which is the way that I try to live my life.
