Not a million years or anything, but maybe a couple hundred? Didn't they find 'human remains' near the gate? I agree that time travel is difficult to do well. In this episode they should have found 2 kenos on the planet: the first on that Eli did, and the second one that explained the illness/cure that was created at the end, thereby bypassing the entire story and negating kenos creation in the first place. I seem to remember star trek and futurama's time altering storylines to be better as they had a clear entry and exit points. Despite the logical errors I still liked the episode. After all it is a tv show and not meant to be examined in detail! Didn't like the camera effects at the beginning of the episode though.. found it annoying and somewhat disorienting.
