Okay, so today I came across something quite interesting. I was reading a book about Genesis for Literature and this is what I found. To quote:
"The seven days of creation were the same length as our days. Some have speculated that each day could have lasted 1,000 years" (since a thousand years is as a day to God), "but that is not likely, since plant life on the third day could not have survived waiting for sunlight to come on the fourth day. Also, Adam, who was created on the sixth day, lived to be 930 years old, which meant he would have died before God's day of rest began."
I know some of you believe in both creationism and evolution, but here's something simple to think about. :)

oooh!
and also you have to trace the Greek word that they used for Day which im pretty sure historically meant a 24 hour day

Great point! :)
I think the phrase "a thousand years is like one day" is just to demonstrate how timeless God is.

Just think about what a vapour time is, in comparison to ETERNITY!
Ikr! I can't wait until that day when all our sorrows will be no more.

That's correct too. (Of course, you see where I stand on this matter.)
For sure :)
Cant wrap even a bit of my mind around eternity. It's something I'm half terrified of but its probably partly from ignorance

Yesss there's so much ground breaking intelligent design research that gets no attention
