Whether God created the world in six days, or even whether God created the world at all, depends on what you wish to believe. The first creation story in Genesis (verses 1:1-2:4a) describe a six-day creation, although the earth is pre-existing. The second creation story in Genesis (verses 2:4b-25) does not require creation to have taken six days, although pious readers, believing that the text cannot contain contradictions, ignore the major disjunctions between the two creation stories and tend to treat the second story as the fuller, more detailed account of the creation of man (and woman) that the first story simply reported.

Why did God create the world in 6 days?

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).
