If you're basing your conclusion on the creation myth, I'd like to point out my confusion about a particular part...

The myth supposedly points out the number of days (seven, I believe) it took to create everything... and then at the end, man(kind) was created. First, I wonder, are the days based on Earth's spin? That is... an "Earth day". Would the seven days include the millions of years of before, after, and during the age of dinosaurs?

I don't expect you to know the answer, I'm just trying to point out that there are quite a few flaws with the "direct" creation of the planet. God, however, could've easily created the materials necessary for the Universe to form itself.

I haven't formed a definate opinion on that. I have thought (when I was a kid) that God created the planet and the first humans along with putting dinosaurs on and such and continued to control (still continues) things to make it what he likes. However, my opinions grow and change everyday so I don't want to take a firm stance on that until I know exactly what I believe.

Where's that leave human choice? Is it God's control that you believe in God? Would it be God's control if you gve birth, as only God can create? Does God control my actions as well? That is, my questioning of God's control?

Not trying to pry, but I do not know of others' beliefs.

Well, all religions have different answers for that question. The basic answer is that you are only applying what we know as humans to your questions. God very well could allow us to have free will, but he could also know what actions we will take.

We assume that the 7 days to create the Earth were 7 Earth days, but there is no way to determine if a day to God is actually a day to us or a thousand years.

Since we can have no definitive answer to that question, we can only assume that it was not done in 7 Earth days and that depends on the suns orbit of the earth. Since light was not created until day 2 (or 3), that already is pretty good evidence supporting a non-Earth day.

That is an entirely different subject. And should be left alone in this forum.
