Not to get into a Creationism debate but there are San rock paintings of humans/animals in South Africa that have been dated to be 80,000 years old. And given that their later paintings show British soldiers and locomotives starting to arrive in their country at the appropriate juncture, you can argue that those older paintings are a valid form of recorded history.

And while there is some historical back up for Biblical events (e.g the great flood), you really do start having to twist geological facts etc to make a 6 day creation process work. I will happily accept that Christians believe in the Creation story as a matter of faith with the 6 days perhaps as an allegory of time but it's not scientifically valid any more than the Hindu creation story of Vishnu and Brahma and shouldn't be used to dismiss other religions beliefs..
