If God created everything in 6 days and rested on the 7th when did he create the universe?

Answer 1

On the first day, God created the heavens and the earth. That's the universe. Subsequently he populated the universe with stars, etc.

AnswerAccording to The Bible, god only created the earth. And the waters on earth and the heavens are separated by a firmament. And those twinkling stars can fall down to earth. see link on "Firmament";

Genesis[6] And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. [7] And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. [8] And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. [14] And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: [15] And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. [17] And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, [20] And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. Pss.19 [1] The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Pss.150 [1] Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. Ezek.1 [22] And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above. [23] And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies. [25] And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings. [26] And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it. Ezek.10 [1] Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne. Dan.12 [3] And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

AnswerLeaving out relevant verses can make the Bible be silent where it is not. The Bible makes it clear that God made the universe as evidenced by the following: Genesis 1:16 (King James Version)16And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.Genesis 2:1-4 (King James Version)Genesis 2

1Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

2And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

3And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

4These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

The following verse makes it clearest of all:

Exodus 20:11

For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it

Answer 2

Without the sun, moon and stars, the universe is an empty vacuum: they are "the universe". Genesis 1:16-17 says that God made them on the fourth day. The trouble is, Genesis says he placed these enormous bodies in the firmament just above the earth, "to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness." This is mythology.
