Was Peter making a statement about creation? No. Was he speaking literally? No. And besides, even if he was, "A Day with the Lord is as a Thousand years and a Thousand years as a day cancels itself out in literal time." Not a good argument.

I would suggest you read the whole chapter because Peter is very clear about what he is speak of.

He even gives a picture of Genesis 1:1 and 2 in which it is clearly declared that the heavens and earth were created AND then there was an event in which caused the earth to become void and without form.

Peter calls it the world that WAS, that flooded and perished, NOT talking about Noah's flood as Peter does in the previous chapter.

Peter also refers to the heavens and earth which are NOW would be kept in store, reserved unto fire not a flood.

This is not an argument rather rightly dividing the WORD.

Jeremiah describes a flood wherein NO MAN was left, that is not describing Noah's flood.

When was Satan's overthrow and when were the souls created that a third of them followed Satan, and a third couldn't decide which side to take, and a third stood against Satan??????

Paul sure took a lot of time describing what he called "predestined" when did this predestination take place????

And why would the Heavenly Father say that Jacob He loved and Esau He hated before they were ever born, while still in the womb. There is a reason why that declaration was made!!!!
