Where is it stated I found it in 2 Peter 3:8. It is says 1 day for God is equal to a thousand years on earth. To get a good grasp of this read the entire chapter of 2 Peter 3.
We have to be consistent with scripture, There is no where in scripture where they calculates days as a thousand years. If so Adam would be 1000 x 360 x 930. Wow! Those would be very long days. Adam would have been 334,800,000. years old when he died.
But we can't ignore the second half of 2 Peter 3:8.
"and a thousand years as one day."
That takes us in the opposite direction! Which makes a thousand years very short.
Adam probably would be a few seconds old when he died.
So which half of 2 Peter 3:8 do we use?
So let's examine that scripture again and put it in its context taking it from verse 3 on to verse 9. and you will see the emphasis is on Gods patience, and longsuffering, Not the length of days.
2 Peter 3:3-9. Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
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 Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; BUT IS LONGSUFFERING TO US-WARD, NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH, BUT THAT ALL SHOULD COME TO REPENTANCE.
I believe they were literal 24 hr days. "scientists" who claim this or that does not convince me and I do not find atheist's claims credible. Many of their claims of the past have been reversed when they learn something new about the earth, such as, yes, the flood did indeed happen, like seashells being found on mountain tops today, which they previously assumed was impossible, etc.
I'm aware of 2 Peter 3:82, but I don't think it necessarily applies to everything. I think it means God not bound by time dimension- He created time. Some believe this verse ONLY applies to creation and somehow not for the rest of scripture about God's days and activities. Further, it doesn't just mean it could have taken God 1000 years for each human day, but is just as likely that 1 day for God is 1000 years for man, so 1 day of creation in man's terms could have been 1/1000 of a day for God.
I agree with Brother Adam.

I hope this helps.
God bless.
Noah enduring the 40 days of rain could have been over 109 years of rain, or 1 hour.

Well stated.
God bless.
There are God's days. - 2 Peter 3:8
There are Creations days. - Genesis 1:5
God who created all things by JESUS CHRIST ( Ephesians 3:9)
Gave all his creation the same time in days which are, "The Evening and the Morning" light and darkness.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
Gen 1:5 (KJV)
The evening and the morning are all creation's days. (From Heaven and Earth to Angels and Men).
God's day is as a Thousand years.
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.
2 Pet 3:8 (KJV)
When God told Adam, The day you eat thereof you shall surely die. - Genesis 2:17
The day God told Adam was in God's day.
How do we know?
Because Adam lived to be nine hundred and thirty years old and he died.
That's not a Thousand years.
And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.
Gen 5:5 (KJV)
The Lord JESUS bless you.
