Why did god take 6 days to create everything?

The Pentateuch is generally attributed to Moses. If Moses existed. Certainly the claimed 40 year route out of Egypt didn't.

so its either moses dreamed about the creation, and claimed that the dream was influenced by the holy spirit...(which really lessen the validity of all these significantly) or moses himself was the first peter popoff then...

Because back when the Bible was made up, that was pretty quick.

Well the actual creation myth was probably one of a number of oral traditions among several tribes preceding Mosaic Isreal. Or rather it was probably two of a number of oral traditions given how different Gen1 is from Gen 2.

What's the hurry. It's like, the U.S has nukes, why don't they use them to win wars quicker? What can I say, God works in mysterious ways.

It's entirely possible to be smart and wrong.
