Only God was there

“Who is this that darkens My counsel with words without knowledge? Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer Me. Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell Me, if you understand.” Job 38:2-4
It never ceases to amaze me how Christians can come up with umpteen different hypotheses as to how the world was created, when God has told us all along in the Bible how He did it. Perhaps the most popular idea is that of trying to mix the idea of macro-evolution with creation, saying God directed evolution, or set the process in place and let it run its course. This is completely contradictory to what the Bible teaches: that God created the world in six days (see Ex. 20:11). The creation account does not line up with what macro-evolution teaches. The Bible tells us light existed before the sun, that birds existed before reptiles, etc. So even if you buy into the ‘one day is a gazillion years’ hypothesis, you still have the order of events to deal with.
At the end of the day, only God was there at the creation of the world. There was no human observer to witness it. Do we trust God to tell the truth? Of course. And He has told us in His Word what happened. Why do we have such a hard time accepting and believing it? Why do we try to supersede what He has said on this issue?
