Correct me if I an wrong but doesn't the Bible say that a day to the Lord is like a thousand years to man? Could all life on Earth evolved in 6000 years? It has also been another 6000 years since the creation....so then....if we are now moving into the end times of Revelation, wouldn't the 7th millennium be the reign of peace under Christ?

that is also a widely misused verse.

(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.

(2 Pet 3:10 KJV) But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

the CLEAR meaning of a day is as a 1000 years, is a metaphor.

It nowhere says a day is equal to 1000 years.

It says God is patient, waiting for us to repent, and is outside of time in his patience.

you also need to re-examine what you just said.

If each day of creation was 1000 years, then go back and look at each day and what was created.

Then tell me that each day and what was created existed by itself for 1000 years.

Notice also the order of events.

What was created first?

Compare that with evolutionary thinking as to what has to come first.

As for us being in the 7th millenium, look again at what you said.

6000 years for creation?? it has been over 4000 years since Noah's flood.

Could all life on Earth evolved in 6000 years?

No. The sun wasn't around till the fourth day. Plants were around on the third. Unless you know of a mechanism where plants can thrive for a thousand years without photosynthesis, I think I will stick to what Scripture says, not what deconstructionalists and God haters want it to say.
