If god created the earth as we know it in 7 days then why is there so evidence to support that life evolved over millions of years. Or is it that the 7 days quoted in the bible is actually a metaphor and that it was created over 7 million or billoin years, or that its all a lie and god dosen't exist ant that everything in the bible is fake.

most it not all scientist agree the life on earth evolved over millions of years, and it makes sence over something clicking his fingers 7 times in 7 days to creat everything

I asked RBHill and he went silent.

Anyway my real question to Halitose was whether he accepts that celestial bodies such as stars actually exist and how far away he thinks they are. Or is making vague statements about scientists having no evidence the best he can do.
