Jewish answer: God could have created everything in an instant. He chose to do it over a period of days in order to teach us the importance of this world (Mishna, Avot ch.5).

According to Jewish mysticism, God used six days because He created this world as a sort of projection of spiritual energy through the closest of the upper worlds, which are seven in number (the seventh representing the Sabbath of rest).
