Did he set things in motion a trillion years ago? I say yes and that's how I join religion and science.


You're assuming that God rested because he was tired. When you kick back and take a day off, is it always because you are exhausted? Doubtful. He rested because there was no more creation left for him to do. He looked at what he had created, and "God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day." (Gen. 1:31).

Your comprehension (or lack thereof) of God is what holds you back. He is not human. His strength and energy are immeasurable and impossible to deplete.
