Yes-God created world in 7 days and initiated 7th as day of worship. Other religions have changed day of worship but all cultures have 7-day week and and they don't know why: check it out.


Another point of view.

It can be fairly certainly assumed that stone age men didn't count seven days a week. The history of non christian cultures and their calendars can be traced and the most likely explanation is the moon phases. The moon completes its cycle in approximately 28 days, or 4 weeks.

The seven-day week has its roots farther back than the book of Genesis. Early cultures were exposed to the night sky, and studied and wondered about it. There were seven celestial objects which moved in a way which clearly indicated they were not stars, and thus worked their way into the myths and legends of most early cultures. These objects are the sun and moon (from which we get Sunday and Monday, respectively) and the first five planets (not counting Earth): Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
