you will clearly see that it does not pertain to the beginning of the world.

well actually believed that EVOLUTION is described in the first pages of The book of Genesis...
Later on in the bible Jesus said " A day with the Lord is as 1000 years", so therefore the 7 days of cration could actually be 7000 years...or 7 million years...

That's all well & good, except you have ignored the fact that the original text uses the terms yom , boqer & ereb, translated respectively by the scribes as day, morning & evening. In acuality, they literally translate to several different concepts of time and/or event measurement and denotation
I am beginning to believe....that some people, when smacked soundly with a fresh tuna, will still exclaim indignantly, "Wherefrom didst come that cow?".

the passage comes from 2 Peter 3:8, which states: " But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day"
The referrence is actually regarding Gods unwillingness to see any refuse His offer of Salvation, not in regard to creation.
in a sense, the word "creators" isnt wrong. being that The Father, the word and the holy spirit are all one,
It TELLS you which denotation is to be used. God knew there would be people who could not figure out what a day is , so he put that in there
Evo C, it means that some people will interpret things as they wish, despite being hit with something that is obvious

There is nothing there that says 'but those six creation days, those were 24 hour periods. It certainly doesn't rule out a figurative meanign for the Creation Week.

Now for context of Genesis 1, where it says 'evening and morning...1st day, 2nd day etc...'
If that was not enough to show you that it was normal days...then look at the following
Exo 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Exo 20:9 Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work:
Exo 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
Exo 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
In six of those normal days the Lord made the heaven and .....
It gives the context right there with it.
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Exo 20:9 Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work:
