Well, obviously, SOMETHING has to be there, because we MUST assume that the solar system is ~5 billion years old, otherwise, there’s not enough time for evolution to occur. 400 quadrillion years wouldn't be enough time for evolution to occur, without external information input.
5 billion years is from radioactive dating, NOT from evolution. That figure was arrived at separately from the faulty "theory of evolution" in biology.

Actually, the 4.5 billion years could not be arrived at by any scientifically calibrated method. It is widely accepted, however, because it fits well with the need for an old earth to allow time for the evolution of species present today.
