I think I can agee with that for the most part, but the bible also says that a thousand years is like a day to the Lord God and a day like a thousand years. and which thought is often used in regard to prophecy in the bible so it can be applied to other parts too, no?
I don't think either II Pet. 2:3 or Ps. 90:4 are intended to be secret keys which will unlock prophesies, much less reconcile Genesis with evolutionism. They say what they say, and anything beyond this needs to be understood as extrapolation.

A blanket application of the principle "when God says a day it means a thousand years & vice versa" is obviously problematic and absurd. Blanket applications to prophecy run into trouble as well. Rev. 20 begins
Quote
[1] And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
[2] And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
[3] And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
[4] And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
[5] But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
[6] Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
[7] And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
[8] And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
Can this principle do anything here other than show itself to be absurd?

I can't fault people for considering this premise; we all desire to learn more. But those who teach it without evaluating it carefully need to stop. It just doesn't hold up. The practice of searching the scriptures for a single verse which can be manipulated into giving apparent support for one's own wishes cannot find support in scripture.

Compromising is contrary to scripture, and anything contrary to scripture is dangerous. Werner Gitt has a page entitled [i]10 Dangers of Theistic Evolution.[/i]

The atheistic formula for evolution is:

Evolution = matter + evolutionary factors (chance and necessity + mutation + selection + isolation + death) + very long time periods.

In the theistic evolutionary view, God is added:

Theistic evolution = matter + evolutionary factors (chance and necessity + mutation + selection + isolation + death) + very long time periods + God.

In this system God is not the omnipotent Lord of all things, whose Word has to be taken seriously by all men, but He is integrated into the evolutionary philosophy. This leads to 10 dangers for Christians.
These dangers should not be lightly dismissed. Myself, I see no motive for the educated to compromise, other than worldly concerns for popularity & maybe money.
