This Christian God is supposed to be the same God of the Hebrews and if that is the case then the history of this god is more like 6,000 plus years. The Christian God is in fact a continuation of the Hebrew god found in Judaism. The only thing that has changed is that the Christian god in the N.T. has made a new pact with man based on grace and not so much on law as displayed in the O.T. but when you consider the two books and the two dispensations side by side it does not even seem like the same god.
The O.T. God was very strict and even vengeful where everything was based on the law and most sins were punishable by death. With the coming of Christ (the anointed one or chosen) as the ultimate sinless sacrifice through his alleged death, man had a new way to restore his relationship with God and the new pact was formed. The Christian church has had to reform its doctrines throughout the ages to conform to this modern age.
One example is the church having to acknowledge the truth of evolution through the process of natural selection. It was not till later in the history of Christianity that the church had begun to allegorize many of the tales of the O.T. History through the eyes of scripture literally does not make sense and when it comes to the passage of time and geneologies let's face it, the numbers just don't add up. This is just one example but there are many more.
Here is an article on what Pope Benedict XVI had to say about evolution.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
