No, that is your flaw. Again, do you not know what an emergent process is? No, you probably do not. The very earliest of life would have been extremely simple compared to even our simplest life today. Depending upon how one defines life genes were almost certainly not a requirement. They would have emerged as the mutating RNA became more and more complex.
It is mostly for entertainment. Though very very rarely a creationist can ask a question that actually requires me to learn something new. That is a win for me when I get more knowledge. Spanking people that go into a fight unarmed and refuse all help to help them to acquire some weapons is just for fun.
The truth comes out
Oh that has never been a deep dark secret. And of course helping others to rational understanding of the world would be nice, but most believers cannot be that honest At least not publicly. Perhaps we are planting the seed that will allow them to break the shackles of fear based irrational reasoning. It will not be today. It will not be tomorrow. But ideally these people do see how badly they have lost and will continue to think about this.
So what you are telling us is that you lack knowledge of how humans went from hunter/gatherers to building permanent settlements. When humans started agriculture and herding animals they could settle in permanent places, usually near water (which is why they had floods, sometimes bad floods). With bigger settlements came problems of order, and that led to making rules. This also meants that gods were created as a meants to create authority for those in power. With permanent settlements they could start doing art and developing lore, including stories and time keeping. Of course all tribes of humans had to keep track of the seasons and days/night for survival.
Billions of years is too short?

Why would there be calendars, humans were still trying to survive by hunting day and night. Of course you lack this knowledge.
They were probably smarter than you. Where is everything that they made including their calendars.
They'd be too bulky. One year is enough for a calendar, although I've seen ten-year journals. Besides, there was nothing to do to put in your calendar.
No, they weren't. You're probably smarter than the ancients, and you're not faring too well here with him or anybody else.
Agreed that I'm here for the entertainment. This is entertaining.
There is "history" it is just not well recorded. There is ample archaeology. You do realize that archaeology, history, science, myths, just about you name it they are refute a literal interpretation of the Bible.
I don't see it in Ezekiel 28.
Why? Do you not ever try to help others? It appears that you are accusing others of what you would do yourself.
No I don’t try to help the scientific type to see the folly of their ways. I’m not an idiot
Oh so tempting. Sorry, but you really should not set yourself up that way. You do not seem to understand that if you claim that there is a "folly of their ways" that that puts a huge burden of proof upon you. Of course you have been making false claims regularly about those that know how to apply the sciences properly. It appears that you do not know what science even is, much less how to use the tool correctly. That happens quite often when a person has nonsensical and refuted personal beliefs.
Your belief in evolution is misplaced to say the least.
but I do not have a "belief" that is all that you have. I have knowledge. But you are sadly afraid of knowledge.
And what was the first living creature as far as you know?
Stanley.
