Creation in seven days and the millions of unaccounted years?

Question

I remember attending a weekend at a conference where a world renowned nucleur physicist lecturer (he wasnt a christian ) was speaking. He took various scriptures and proved that God had in fact created the world in a string of seven days . Each day was made of a base of matter of light and He had packed it into a day by day period. He interwove Einsteins theory and thoughts into it as well and proved that as each day was released it began to expand as a string of light much like a woman who clips a sheet onto a clothes line then stretches it out and clips the other side to the line. He made it very clear that each day of creation as It stretched out actually had in it millions of years. God had packed the millions into each 24 hour day. therby making the earth 7 days old and also millions of yrs old at the same time. He refered to where God used Joshua to hold the sun and moon in one place for 24 hours yet the time and battle continued until God/Joshua was done.

scripture doesnt say one day IS a 1000 yrs...it says it is AS a 1000 years....its a figure of speech...not a stated fact...
