The only reason to state that the word day means something else in these two chapters is to make it fit the atheistic theory of evolution over long periods of time.

isn't there a phrase somewhare that says to God a day is like a thousand years....or something along that line??

2 Peter 3:7-9New International Version (NIV)

7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.

8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

The passage is referring to the Lord’s patience regarding the end times. It is not referring to the time it takes for literal events to occur.

evolution involves death so if evolution was there when Adam and Eve came into being, then whole Genesis is a fraud because death was there before they sinned.
