Perry's ability to paste links to so much pseudo science is astounding.
I think you will find it's the parrot that is in control at the moment.

If it was 7K years in the 60/70's and 1k years in the 80/90's, according to the scharzchild equation for the change in the rate of time diolation, we should have hit heaven in 2001!!! Someone's got it wrong??

I could never figure out why they insisted that all the creative days had to be equal in length. Much of the WT historical view of the world is still stuck somehere in the thinking of the late 18th century despite their claims to being a progressive organization.

This reminds me of arguments I had with my parents after I had 9th grade Earth Science. My father was insistent of six 7000-year Creative Days. What he didn’t know was that the Society had already quietly retired the idea because it was discovered that it had origins in Jewish occultism.

Londo- As an Elder in the 1980s I had to shock the group with that info. I asked everyone how long the creative days were and they all answered 7000 years. Then I showed them the Wt. articles, boy were they pissed

Jewish occultism??? Whaaa???? Provide some links Londo! Or are you trying out for the WT writing staff?
Let's say the Bible is inerrant. The Bible provides zero evidence on the length of the Creative days, except for the meaning of the Hebrew word for "day", which leaves the reader some room for interpretation. Also, the Bible says nothing regarding what kind of creatures lived OUTSIDE of Eden, or how long they existed on the Earth, assuming there were creatures outside of the garden. Animals could have been in existence for millions of years before the garden of Eden was even planted.
We know that according to the scriptures, the land outside the Garden was wild and not subdued by man. So teaching anything beyond what is written is purely speculation, and is condemned by the scriptures themselves. Why would the GB even get involved? Just say, " We have no idea." Isn't that discreet?
