Race I understand what you're saying. And I would agree with that more than 4 billion years. But I also recognize that a day in heaven is as a thousand years on earth. The point is that God did create the earth and everything on it. How He did it or how long it took Him isn't as important to me is that He did it

NoNoNO!

A day is not a thousand years!!

( I wondered when someone would bring this up...sigh...)

(2 Pet 3:1 KJV) This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:

(2 Pet 3:2 KJV) That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:

(2 Pet 3:3 KJV) Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

(2 Pet 3:4 KJV) And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

(2 Pet 3:5 KJV) For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

(2 Pet 3:6 KJV) Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

(2 Pet 3:7 KJV) But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

(2 Pet 3:8 KJV) But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

(2 Pet 3:9 KJV) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.


Read it again, the thousand year/day comment means God does not judge us right away, that God is merciful to us and is willing to wait for us to repent

This passage has NOTHING to do with time/evolution/ or anything that relates to creation!!

Every time Creation and Time is mentioned, it is ALWAYS 6 literal days if any day is mentioned
