That God placed us here, and everything was form with the quickness, or that over time things evolved to the way they are today?

Everything needs a spark to start things off, and who knows. Maybe the Big bang was that spark for us.
The Bible also says in 2 Peter 3:8 that "...With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day."

I don't believe God created the Earth in 6 24 hour time periods. I don't think we really have any true concept of God's time.

I believe that God created everything. How exactly He did that, we really don't know. Genesis 2:7 states: the LORD God formed the man [e] from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

That could imply that man "evolved" from small organisms. But it was all done under God's direction.

I will say this though, if God wanted to create the Earth and universe in 6 24 hour periods, it wouldn't be beyond Him. The great thing is, my salvation is not based upon me knowing exactly how God created things.
