God did what God did. It appears to me that God may have, in the process of creation, created the "rules." Although we do not understand all the rules, the ones we have identified so far, seem to be very consistent. Rules like quantum physics, chemistry (both organic and inorganic) and gravity all seem to be very carefully designed and thorough. Perhaps, God took six identifiable and distinct epochs in creating this universe because God wanted to create a complete, naturally flowing and consistent universe.
One point posters here seem to neglect. God is everlasting. Our Lord was here before there was a universe and God will be here when all of this is gone. Why would God be in the least bit be concerned in how long it took to create? Perhaps God has identified the ages (epochs, periods, days) of Creation as a tool for us, to help us find a closer relationship with God, the one God, the God who IS the creation, who IS the Creator, who is Eternally God.
(And maybe, like Adam, and so many of us since, we have found a way to miss the point - seeking to define the chronological instead of appreciate the divine.)
I think, He was influencing the fallen angels that were here .
In the Beginning God ...., is wrong the correct translation is In the Beginning of God creating ....
We know angels and sons of god already existed
Job 38:7
When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
