i like to think. I have been told I overthink a bit....but oh well....
when making penicillin.....you need two different mold cultures. You take the two cultures and breed them...
over and over and over again until you get a generation of mold capable of producing a penicillin strain.
so you...
my opinion on this matter.
I have though at length on this very issue in my studies...and I only come to two conclusions.
(once again only my opinion not forcing this on anyone)
since the time discrepancy is so very detailed in that verse...."One day to go is as one thousand years to man"...
I use the keyword search in multiple versions of the bible on biblegateway.com to research such things.....
it is a very useful tool for such questions.
for example....keyword search "GOD is not subject unto time" = 0 results
(KJV)
then you can just do a search for GOD and TIME...and kinda go...
here is how i like to see it all
John 14:2
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

2 timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Genesis 3:14
And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life...
I like it when the two match up. This not only gives validity to both...but it makes you stop and wonder as to how they had advanced knowledge so long ago.
a couple of examples....
Isaiah 40:22
It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers...
which led me to these
Psalm 84:11
For the Lord God is a sun and shield
Job 22:14
Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.
Psalm 19:6
His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing...
which led me to this one....malachi 4:2
2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
