And the Bible says everything was created in 7 days. Yeah you just see the whole of the scientific community bowing to that one...
Depends on how much you believe in the Bible. Here, we believe in our sources of canon. Still, while science has good reasons to question cosmic creation over a matter of days, we don’t seem to have any basis for questioning the game’s reference to 2,000 years (apart from “what ifs”).
Cradle of Humanity could merely mean thats the origin of everyone in Tri-Star systems. They could very well have been a lost colonization ship which could have lost track of their dates.
So “humanity” is defined exclusively in terms of the history of the “Tri-System”? That doesn’t follow unless there’s quite a bit more of a story coming on.
