Evidently Each creative day was about 7000 years long. The sixth day is already nearly 6000 years old.
Peter said a day is as 1000 years AND 1000 years is as a day. 1000 X 1000 equals a million years.
Also, we are told that the universe is expanding in that it doubles in half the time. The same with all multicelled life. First you have one cell, that cell doubles and you have two cells, then four cells, then eight, sixteen and so forth. It takes the same amount of time, to go from one cell to two cells, as it takes to go from eight cells to sixteen. If a mustard tree did not quit growing, it would seem become as big as all the universe.
This is the way it works: 1,2,4,8,16,32,64. If you have a chess board and on square one you put one grain if rice. Then on square two you put two grains of rice, all the way up to square 64, then on square 64 you would have the amount of rice equal to all the rice that is produced in the world in one year.
If you go back 64 million years, according to the way science measures time. You see that a "doomsday astroid" hit the earth. It is 100 miles wide and buried now one mile deep. The result was the entire planet burst into flames and two third of life was destroyed.
2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
Zech. 13:8-9 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. [9] And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
