People in ancient times used numbers differently than we do
 
Says who?
 
You might want to consider taking a very close look at the Bible some day. The sixth day according to Genesis is THIS day. In other words, we are living in the sixth day. I tire sometimes of silly people attributing western ideas and concepts to the terminiology of the Bible.
 
 
I do not believe that there is a claim in the Bible of any person living more than 1000 years.
 
Genesis 5:1
This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
(Whole Chapter: Genesis 5 In context: Genesis 5:1-2)
 
 
Genesis 2:17
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
(Whole Chapter: Genesis 2 In context: Genesis 2:16-18)
 
 
2 Peter 3:8
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.
(Whole Chapter: 2 Peter 3 In context: 2 Peter 3:7-9)

Sorry, I have to disagree with you here. That 1000 days is like one day could very well be figurative and has been used and twisted by many people.

Furthermore, look, the story of creation ALREADY HAPPENED. ALL DAYS ARE COMPLETED. EVERY SINGLE ONE. I COMPLETELY disagree with this stupid theory that somehow the world is 6,000 years old.

It is incredibly ignorant and without evidence.
