I have no trouble agreeing with the notion that God created all the planets at the same time, but considering from what matter we do see God creating things from, He appears to use stuff that was already there, not that He couldn't just speak things into existance, that is just how amazing God is, but we see from biblical record God used the earth dust to create Adam and Adams rib to create Eve
all I'm saying is there is a strong possibility that a timeless God used recycled material from who knows where, and seeing how carbon dating is all over the map on earth it stands to reason that there is a much stronger case that the matter from what the earth was created from, was not brand new material
The Genesis 2 clearly says that animals and human are made of "clays". It has both significant theological and scientific meaning.
What does God use to create other things as they are described in Gen 1 is not as significant in theology, but could be significant in science. There is nothing wrong to speculate the scientific meaning of God's creation, as long as it does not interfere with the theology.
