 Issues | Doctrine | The Doctrine of Creation

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 1.1)

in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them,  (Exodus 20.11)

All things were made through Him (the Word), and without Him nothing was made that was made. (John 1.3)

For by Him (Christ) all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.
And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. (Colossians 1.17)

Great Anglican Divines - (5) John Pearson (1613-1686), Bishop of Chester. Cross†Way article by David Watson.

John Pearson contended for a literal six day creation time span:

"It remaineth then that we steadfastly believe, not only that the “heavens and earth and all the host of them” were made, and so acknowledge a creation; . . . but also that all things were created by the hand of God in the same manner, and at the same time, which are delivered unto us in the books of Moses by the Spirit of God, and so acknowledge a novity, or no long existence of the creature . . . most certainly within not more than six, or at farthest seven, thousand years.”
