I don't know if its the oldest, but the history on the Palermo Stone was composed 2500 BCE. Also, I'm not sure the Bible qualifies as a "history," although there are clearly historical components. Maybe testament of faith?

Not sure about the oldest, but ever hear of Herodotus or Plutarch? They predate the NT by centuries.

"You may notice that God did not say he created the earth on the first day...He created 'light' on the fisrt day of the Genesis creation...The earth was already there...And He didn't say how long it's been there..."

About 4.5 billion years. :)
