Actually, it's not true that the Bible teaches God can do everything. According to the Bible–He cannot lie.
For those who follow the Judeo-Christian tradition:
Numbers 23:19. “God is not a man, that he should lie”
Hebrews 6:18. “It was impossible for God to lie”
Titus 1:2. “God, that cannot lie”
So what would ten thousand fossils of beings who never existed in the ground be—but a lie? Like someone planting false evidence, in hopes of deceiving others?
So what is Genesis? To believers, it can be read as a parable, meant to convey spiritual truths, but not meant to be a scientific truth.
Stephen King tells a story, and it's not a lie; it's a story meant to convey a truthful meaning by means of illustration. That's far different from Stephen King planting physical evidence to mislead people into thinking something happened that didn't.
Maybe you think the Creator had nothing better to do than plant red herrings throughout strata of a world that never existed. (Not my analogy; I'm trying to find the original quote.) Most of us realize the absurdity of same.
Or the absurdity of fossil records for humankind being “deleted” from the fossil record for hundreds of millions of year.
