"But of this one thing be not ignorant, my beloved, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." 2 Peter 3:8

I would be careful about using this verse because it still doesn't support millions of years of evolution.

The point I was trying to make is that since the author of Scripture is God, not man, the word "day" means what God intends it to mean, not what man interprets it to mean. IIRC, Sts. Augustine and Aquinas held this view.
