say the time it takes for the universe to spin around once.if this is true one of his days would be like a million years on earth so i figure that in the bible when it says on the first day god created (whatever i dont remember) maybe we are only into the first couple of god days,any thoughts on this matter

Good question. Most theologians believe these were literal 24 days, but I don't know. I know it says in 2 Peter 3:8 that we must remember that a day is like a thousand years to the Lord and a thousand years as a day. God is not held by time. He exists in the past, future and present all simultaneously. Pretty awesome!

Time, that is 24 hours in a day, is a man made measurement in order for us to keep track of events better. Of course days would be different for God. Days are different lengths on different planets so why not for God. Should there be any other advance life forms on other planets in the universe, I highly doubt they have arranged their measure of time in accordance with Earth. Anyone who is so narrow-minded as to assume that the 'day' mention in the Bible is a time period of 24 Earth hours is not only incredible ethnocentric but also highly irrational and, in my opinion, limits the vastness of the universe and the power and understanding of God.

I'd love for that to be true, but sadly not the case.
According to Genesis, the earth sea and plants were created on the 3rd day, and the sun moon and stars on the 4th. Were a day for him millions of years the time between the 3rd and 4th day would have killed all the plants.

This is what people who still believe in creation seem to think. "Days" are human inventions, not some godly term. Why do you want to reason out something based in faith? You either believe the entire bible or you don't, simple as that.

To The Eternal, what matter is time in the first place?

His time is not our time.
2Peter 3:8 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.

Lol. Good question. I'd say that God is timeless as is His reality. So there is no days/weeks/years.

If you are serious, we have gone past HIS first seven days and are waiting for the rest.
