He did not make Earth in 7, but in 6 days.
These days are figuratively, God isn't bound by time: "8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day." 2 Peter 3:8
Don't take them as days, but as phases, most probably it wasn't 148 hours :)
Sorry if it has been answered already, didn't have the energy to read all the rational and intellectual replies this thread provides.

I agree with this, plus I think there's just a beauty to the slower progression of creation, I feel like there's a deeper meaning behind the "7 days", like for example, maybe God was trying to set an example, liiike, don't be buried in work 24/7 (cause he "rested" or did no creative work on the 7th day) work hard, do your best, but always give yourself a break. Or maybe to say "perfection takes time". Of course he could create all in 1 day, but he might be trying to communicate "Hey, humans, my homies, don't try to rush things".

Just my 2 cents anyway, another way to think about it ~
This is a speculation
