"one day is as a thousand years"

In a nutshell: St. Peter's statement does not apply to the Creation Story.

II Peter 3:8

"one day is as a thousand years"

http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/32012.htm

See Homily II, 8

Heretic Kalomiros combined "Thousand years" with Hexaemeron

What, then, is one “day” of the hexaemeron? “One day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years are as one day”. (2 Pe. 3:8) “Therefore, if you say a day or an aeon, you express the same meaning”. (Basil the Great, Hex., Hom. II, 8)

"one day is as a thousand years"
II Peter 3:8
Look at this in context.  What it really means.  This is about God's
perspective of time which is from the perspective of eternity.  To
God, it means the same to Him whether He waits one day or a thousand
years, because He does not live inside of time.  But earth is still
bound in time. 


Now look at St. Basil on the 6 days:
http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/32012.htm
See Homily II, 8
St. Basil applies the "thousand years" to the 8th day, which is the eternal day of the future - and NOT to any of the six days of Creation.


Kalomiros was the one who prompted Fr. Seraphim Rose to write his
famous "Patristic Doctrine of Creation" --   Kalomiros was a flaming orthodox evolutionist.

Now look how Kalomiros falsely made a connection between the II Peter
3:8 and a sentence he extracted from St. Basil's homily.  Kalomiros
combined St. Peter's Thousand years to St. Basil's homily.

St, Basil is talking about timelessness of the future eternal 8th day -- not any one of the 6 days of Creation.

Kalomiros ended up dying outside the Church in heresy.
