My thought is that he first has to wait for the little hunk of flesh on the beach to turn into a man. Once that happens, he has to wait until the man developes enough intelligence to discover he is in the dark and needs light. Then the man has to learn enough to discover electricity, then he can start developing things to work off the electric, after he monoplizes the electric source. Finally he will be able to reach up and change that bulb that burned out in about 6 months.
Given all the above, I am estimating about 229.465 million years. What did you come up with?

It takes several million years for the lightbulb to evolve into a flourescent light...

I was going to say wait until the bulb evolves enough to fix itself. But that works too.

How long does it take God to change a lightbulb? Or to answer a prayer? Or to do anything? Or to get his fruity cereal? Oh, no, wait, that's the Trix Rabbit. I get them confused because they're both MADE UP

Surely the light bulb will evolve by itself in time, say a couple of millenia.

As Stephen Jay Gould explained that "evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts do not go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's, but apples did not suspend themselves in mid-air, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape-like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

A matter of seconds. The light bulb is a product of evolution commonly available in grocery stores. Since you seem to not know this, I question your evolutionary level.

I do believe that was the worst joke I've ever heard.

about as long as it takes a creationist to take an tired old joke and use it to insult his opponent instead of using a rational argument for creation.
