The Bible says God created the world in 7 days, I don’t take that literally, after all a day is the time it takes for the Earth to revolve one time, it’s a man-made unit of measure. To God, a “day” may very well have been millions of years

I've thought that for years. My Pastor and I disagree on it - he thinks it's 7 literal days. To me, a God big enough to create something as expansive as the Universe wouldn't measure his time based on how long it takes the Earth to make one revolution.

To me, a God big enough to create something as expansive as the Universe wouldn't measure his time based on how long it takes the Earth to make one revolution.

Then you need to read the passage again. When was the sun created? It certainly wasn't before days were mentioned. Perhaps our revolution around the sun was based on a day, rather than the other way around?

I'm certainly not saying this is the case, but it cannot be disproven, either. I just find it interesting that the sun wasn't created until the fourth day.

2 Peter 3:8

But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
