That argument is one used by people clutching at straws to use supernatural beings in the history of how life evolved. Just face it, gods are a human construct used by those too weak-minded to accept that their life means nothing.

Life on Earth may have originated 3.7 billion years ago (though obviously the exact time is very difficult to determine with a lot of certainty).
