God called the light �day,� and the darkness he called �night.�. There is nothing here that indicates day or night has any meaning relating to time except in mans brain.
Except He called it "the first day". Read the Whole phrse.
2 Peter 3:8....With the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as one day...
In literature there is a valuable thing called context. Apostle Peter was referring to God's patience in regard to salvation. This section is often used erroneously to try to confuse the issue of the creation week.
2 Peter 3:8-98"But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance."
Here's one to help show God does not have time, we do.
Psalm 90:4"For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it passes by, Or as a watch in the night. Here's One a more descriptive of God being outside of time."
God did not create for man's benefit. All of creation including man was created to glorify and worship a Holy God.
I agree completely with your second statement here, and take issue with the first.
