Could God have created an entire universe with a complete history -- in six days?
The creationists are stymied, since they cannot say that God is not powerful enough to do so.
They are left without a religious trump-card fallback in their argument and are forced to deal with the numbers as they are.
It is an end of argument argument for me so far.
Of course, having created a world with a history that continues, He certainly can intervene, or, He certainly does not have to intervene. The main point becomes that we must use His gifts with the history He left and must accept that we do have a limited amount of oil for one item, which only need anger the Koch brothers, not the Bible thumpers.
