The Bible's word is very sound and consistent. There is no evidence for "millions of year" other than man's opinion. Even in the English language the word day is used in many ways: 1. He is one day old. 2. In his day no one had a TV. 3. One day I'll be retired... The word for day (yom) used in Genesis 1 was clearly defined as a single earthly day. When you compare the original language to see where the same word is used, it is general used to mean a 24 hour day. Also, Genesis 1 goes the extra step to tell us it is a 24 hour day by painstakingly pointing out that "there was evening and morning" each day.
The verse, 2 Peter 3:8, says "A day is LIKE", not "A day IS a thousand years." This verse is emphasizing the need for patience. God has no beginning and no end and our concept of time confuses our understanding of Him sometimes.
As to the sun and stars being so young (6000 +/- years), Genesis 1 very clearly states that they were created. You want physical evidence of a young earth: Consider the rate of decay of the earth's magnetic field, there is no way it could be millions of years old. Consider population growth rates; they line up with the Bible and a young earth; if man is millions of years old, where are the bones? Consider laws of thermodynamics that are never broken, but must be for evolution to happen.
If you are looking for proof of the truth of Genesis, study hyperbaric medicine and the scientific findings related to it. Then study the account of creation (where are the waters), where are dinosaurs mentioned in the Bible (before or after the flood); when did people live longer (before or after the flood and the loss of atmospheric pressure due to the flood), etc. etc. ... See if you understand science, you know that a person can almost always use it to support their point of view. If you read and study the Bible, you will not find any factual and hard evidence to dispute it.
