I didn't either, but I can guess at the context that's eluding you.
Billions of years... until the Earth itself could come into existence... until telluric planets could come into being.
After that, it didn't take long for life to spring up on this particular planet.
So my question to you, again, is why do you misrepresent what respected scientists say?
It's like you have some agenda... or you've been sold that agenda and are now trying your best to sell it to others... like some ponzi or pyramid scheme... There's a reason why those are illegal!
The apparatus...
Does he elaborate on what this apparatus is?
