Others though, recognizes that there are 4 'literal' interpretation of the word 'day' depending upon the context. One of the 4 meanings is "a long but finite period of time'. Currently, we are in the 7'th day which is between 100,000 - 50,000 years duration and will continue from now to Christ's 2'nd return (near the very end of the 7 year tribulation period) + 1000 years of Kingdom rule on earth. Then the 7'th day will end.
And as we all know 1 year= 365 days, 1 day=100,000-50,000 (we'll say 75,000) years, as you say, so that 1000 year rule will last roughly...27,000,000,000 years with each day lasting 75,000 years. Wait... No, I had this.
