We are living in 4.5 billion if you take the creation of earth as 0 and 13.5 as you take the big bang as 0
All our time measurements are based on simple observations made thousands of years ago.
We just choose to count from when we assume jesus was born.
A year is the time it takes for the earth to make a full rotation around the sun, I say this is a good measurement of time.
A day is the time it takes the earth to make 1 full rotation around itself.
it takes about 365.25 days to make a year, we make this 365 and have an extra day every 4 years.
I think the 24 hour clock is a product of the solar clock (what's the english? you know the thing that uses shade)
This clock thing was round so it was 360 degrees. To keep more specific track of time it was divided into multiple smaller sections: 12 sections of 15 degrees which make up for the hours, no 24 hour clock since that thing was pretty fucking useless at night. this way they knew when to stop working, start working and take a break.
Every 6 months the clock is changed by an hour to compensate for the different length of the day (time it's light)
Notice how in the summer it get's light when work starts (some jobs at least, a lot of old jobs) and in the winter the day ends when the work day is over.
As for months, well some roman emperors with an inflated ego just started calling specific time periods after themselves.
The months aren't divided equally because some of these people thought they were more important than the other so they stole days from each other.
Days are named after older gods.
People found out about years before we knew the earth orbited the sun because they noticed the repeating seasons.
As far as I know there is no reasonable metric system for time.
I don't even know if it's possible considering that time will slow down as you go much faster and will go slower around extremely massive objects.
It's not a perfect system but how would you keep track of time other wise?

But what if jesus never existed? Okay from the big bang, that was 0 right? If one agrees with the big bang and that side of the theory, not the whole adam and eve stuff, then who was there to record what time and day it was when the world started, if there was nothing but organisms? Surely scientists have just guessed when the world was started, as there was no one, nor nothing was there to even record it.

I'm starting to think you're confused and not that bright.
No offence but the confusion whether the bible or the big bang theory is right just doesn't make you that bright in my opinion, you're at least ignorant enough to not think about it.
This time measuring system is thousands of years old, the reason we still don't have a new system is because it's hard getting a metric version of time.
It's not even the same every where since time slows down due to the influence of gravity & speed.
There is a law of the universe which states that no information will be lost so it is always possible to know what happened in the past, it's just not always easy to figure it out.

May I ask, how am i confused if I am asking you questions? Is that your response to me oppose Christianity and Christ? I believe in the big bang theory, obviously. Lol @ religion. What I am saying is when the big bang occurred, who was there to record when it happened?
Also, where is your evidence that "time slows down due to the influence of gravity and speed"?
