then how did plants survive for the first thousand years before he created light?
Or do you believe that the earth is *coughs*6000 years old?

The Bible doesn't say He created it from nothing. It simply says it was w/o form & void. If it was nothing then there wouldn't be anything to create on.
God created plants before man but after light in the Bible. Thus whether you think the earth is 6,000 or 6 million yrs. old it's still in proper order.
As for the thousand years to a day deal that's just an allegory to help us understand. Time didn't exist before man & it still doesn't exist in the spiritual realm. Thus a million years could be a second here or vice versa. Man only understands the finite. An allegory isn't meant to be taken literally.

You're totally ripping a verse out of context which says "With the Lord a day is LIKE a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day." 2 Peter 3:8. You can't implant that into the creation account!
And by the way, God created the light before the plants...

You are missing the true meaning behind such statements. Time is a created entity and is therefore a relative concept. In eternity, it is always a NOW. Hopefully, these ideas can be conveyed by an example of film in a projector. When you slow the film down, everything moves more slowly than it did in real time. If you speed the film up, everything moves much faster than in real time. Theoretically, one could move the film up so fast that the first frame could equal the last frame, WITHOUT missing or skipping even one frame in the process. I always like to say that time is the slow motion of eternity.

6,000 years old, but God is light and He can keep any plants alive without the sun. The first thing God said was "Let there be light." God spoke creation into existence. And God tells you that there is power in His Word, the Holy Bible. And very few read it.

You have no basis for your question.......Who said a day for God is 1000 for us?....Better read Genesis some more, and by the way..God Bless You ! (ie; Genesis 1 is in the spirt, not physical...Please try to get the ?'s a little more to the actual reading and not some made up mumbo jumbo stuff)...God can fix that little cough for you...Just ask.!

The Bible narrative of creation is the "Reader's Digest" version of events. The 'one day is as a thousand years to God' refers to the fact that time is meanless to God.

I do not believe the creation story time-line is literal. I believe God operates on a completely different time and space continuum that we cannot understand.
