So many new traits to get random mutations and then select for, and so little time....
There's lots of time, unless you are a young earth creationist.
And its not a problem for many of them either! They have to solve the same problems that scientists do but in a much shorter time frame. That leads to some
very creative solutions.
For example, "Woodmorappe" writes:

As pointed out by other creationists [e.g., Lubenow], Homo ergaster, Homo erectus, Homo heidelbergensis, and Homo neanderthalensis can best be understood as racial variants of modern man—all descended from Adam and Eve, and most likely arising after the separation of people groups after Babel.

What this means is that the change from modern man, i.e., Adam and Eve, to these four species of fossil man took place since the Babel incident, which is usually placed after the global flood and in the range of 4,000 to 5,300 years ago. But there's a problem!
This change from modern man to Homo ergaster would require a rate of evolution on the order of several hundred times as rapid as scientists posit for the change from Homo ergaster to modern man!
Most creationists deny evolution occurs on this scale at all, but to deal with the shortened time they have not only proposed such a change themselves, but they see it
several hundreds of times faster and in reverse!
So no, your comment about time doesn't mean much now, does it? Creationists have taken that argument away from you.
And none of this leads to the conclusion you have been trying to reach throughout this whole thread. There is still no empirical evidence that any deities or supernatural entities exist.
I pointed that out way upthread, but you have not seen fit to address my post in any meaningful way.
Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.
