[apparently good for 'demon busting']
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
This one is GREAT. Not evolution, or whatever the latest fad belief is in the 'science' community. GOD created! GOD made this whole place, and in 7 days! And He could have done it in 7 seconds! But God is very cool and awesome, and 7 days is perfect! :-)

It's debatable - God apparently dossed around on the seventh day, so whether it's counted as part of the process or not (you'd probably count it if it was some kind of tea break in the middle) is debatable. The deeper question is why an omnipotent god needs to rest, and if he doesn't need to rest then why that perfect god is apparently plain lazy.
It was six days, and he rested on the seventh. Isn't that the reason you're supposed to "remember the Sabbath and keep it holy"? Or do any of you ever read your own silly book? And what's so perfect about seven days, anyway? Why does this make your god "cool and awesome"? It's just an arbitrary number, and no more special than any of the others.
Actually, God thought creating the world in 7 seconds would be perfect, but the first seventy or eighty thousand times he tried Zeus and Odin kept throwing iron chariots at him and messing up everything he did. He spent almost a week trying this until he discovered who they were, and when he did he spent the final day chasing after them. He later edited the story in the Bible to avoid looking so bad.
This one is GREAT. Not evolution, or whatever the latest fad belief is in the 'science' community. I totally get that. Plantary science is like so out, and oceanography is the season's hottest intellectual interest. Science fads, hah.
GOD created! GOD made this whole place, and in 7 days!
Six days. He rested on the seventh. And what do you mean by "this whole place?" Once again, someone who I fear hasn't gotten over their earth-o-centrism. Or would it be terracentrism...
And He could have done it in 7 seconds! But God is very cool and awesome, and 7 days is perfect! :-)"
So he could have created the world in seven seconds, but the worse he seems to be able to do to sinners is set them on fire or give them boils? If he's so cool, why not open up a temporary black hole inside their spleen?
What this fundies do worst is turning metaphores for metaphysical concepts into a wishy-washy glure email story. If he´s so powerful, why seven days?, really, you paint God like the redneck ignorant idiot you are.
And this isn't a fad belief when evolution is because...? I honestly did not spot that fallacy! Thanks for making my day.
But God is very cool and awesome really cool and awesome, He would create a system where life automatically adjusts itself when conditions change. A food supply disappears, life adjusts to use a new kind of food. Temperatures get colder, life develops fur or fat or whatever. The problem with the writers of the Bible is they couldn't imagine a God that is actually smarter than they were.
The God of creation is like the player who sinks the balls one at a time. The God of evolution sinks all of the balls in one shot on the break.
[stoner] Yeah man. God is, like, so cool and awesome man, that he, like, CREATED the world in, like, 7 days and stuff. Yeah, thats so, like, cool and awesome, man. [/stoner]
