Can someone tell me what Darwin theory is? Is it related to thermodynamics? Does it have something to do with the way a foot leaves an impression in a mud brick?

So this argument is essentially a variant of “then why are there still monkeys?”
Except much stupider because humans had been around for hundreds of thousands of years before that. Even if you just restrict 'humans' to our own species, we arose around 300,000 years ago.
Somehow they think that because, according to an Anglican archbishop's interpretation of the Bible, the world started in 4004 BCE, this proves it.
Based on the username, I don't think they use the Bible for their arguments.
You've ventured into the Hindu science denial echochambers.
Good point. I just looked up 'sattology' and it's some Hindu pseudohistory thing. So I have no idea what this could be about.

Probably one of the nutcases mentioned in the creationism section of this wiki who believe that the human species has existed for billions of years.
I'm guessing they don't understand how long ago science claims humans evolved and thought that proving humans existed 4000 years ago would contradict evolutionary theory?
Generally people arguing against evolution don’t have a clear understanding of the topic.
almost as goofy as the "god exists, because look at this banana!" proof
All the excuses Ray Comfort has made since then make the argument itself the least funny part.
