theres passages in the bible where it says "a day for a year, a day for a year", and it also states "a thousand years is as but a day to God".
depending on where you are reading from the bible, as i said it doesnt always mean a literal day.
IMO thats why many read someting in the bible and then draw the wrong conclusion as they havent done enough background research into it.

This is not an interpretation I've come across before. I certainly know a Presbyterian minister that would disagree with you, and I have my doubts that he's failed to spot the text to which you refer. Seems more like trying to interpret based on what we now know, rather than giving words their intended meaning.

That's all very well, but exactly what parts are supposed to be taken literally, and what are parables, metaphor etc? I don't recall seeing any subscript or legend in the bible informing us of this.
It seems quite clear that writers of the bible intended it to be 'gospel', as they had no understanding of how things really worked, and so this seemed real to them.

Come on, what's what?
Also, if a day is thousands of years, then Adam is thousands of years old, and the bible says he lived to be over 900

Flippin 'eck, variable timeframes in the Bible now are there? 
I do hope at least some waverers see this for the farce it obviously is, or is faith SO blind that all this is irrelevant?
