If you don’t want to believe in the Organic chemistry of carbon decay, which allows science to date things that were once alive, well, okay.  (Living things are constructed with carbon which decays at a certain rate.)  But you can’t disregard the layers and layers of strata in ice cores that mark the millions of years of time.  The years exist. You can count the layers in the ice.

A THING CALLED A DAY

 Here’s where things finally get interesting.  At this point, we have the sun, water, plants and rotation. (No indication of how long a rotation takes?)  The earth is orbiting around the sun, (no indication how long an orbit takes?) but we have signs and seasons.  And a moon which has an effect on the waters--the tides--on earth.  

Some of those creatures that lived in the water (crabs, turtles, etc.) can also live on land; the tides have an effect what they do; they start moving around in an environment which is no longer dark all the time.  Orbits cause seasons, which affect migration as well.  Birds probably begin to travel with the “seasons” the Bible mentioned.

I wonder about alligators and crocodiles, armadillos and other “plated” creatures. Do they qualify as dinosaurs?  Some animals existed on the fringe of water, and had a food source in the water— animals who could live in darkness.  Strata indicates that is probably true.  Komodo dragons perhaps? And other such lizard like creatures?  That's an entire other book...
