i believe there was a PBS special, or History Channel thing... something on TV, that documented a million or half a million year old corpse, and as for dating rocks, how do you determine the age of molten rock? the age of the earth must be determined from the inside out, such as the tree trunk's rings, and i am quite certian, unless you'd like to prove me wrong, that we have never reached the core with any tools yet, im sure we havent even dug half way down into the earth yet, so how can they know old old this old rock really is?
I'm not going to get into the details of rock-dating, but check this out if you want to know how we estimate the age of the Earth:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_the_Earth

and doubling back, how do you know that there arent any 7 million year old corpses just below our reach?
I said 7 billion, not 7 million. We haven't found any hominids more than a few hundred thousand years old, or any primates more than a few dozen million years old, or any mammals more than a couple hundred million years old. Multicellular life itself is only about 500-600 million years old. It seems extremely unlikely that we're going to find anatomically modern humans that are 14 times as old as the first multicellular organisms and over twice the age of the solar system.


also, 1 million years in the past, we did not need history, and were rapidly devolving into an ignorance to develope it.
One million years ago, we probably couldn't even conceive of such a thing as "history" because we were still primitive primates.

history was origonally useless if we were gods, and if we de evolved, it's logical that history (let alone technology) would later be developed.
There is not one shred of evidence for your "we used to be gods" hypothesis. If you can provide me with some, maybe I'll entertain such speculations.

as for that proving anything, i was thinking more along the lines of how it closer matched what science has proven so far... given that the bible misinterpreted billion.
The Bible does not correlate with the historical record in any way more than could be attributed to the knowledge of a pre-scientific people with some vague ideas about their history.

it shows that we had an accurate understanding of the age of the earth before there was technology that could provide such knowledge.
You have proven nothing of the sort. The universe is not 6,000 years old or 7,000,000,000 years old. The Bible was just plain wrong about the origins of the universe, because they could not have possibly known how it happened.
