It is for this reason that not everyone can enter Heaven. They who did not believe in Him, have destroyed their soul and defiled it, and this God will not allow into Heaven. As to the thousands of years before Christianity existed, well no there weren't really that many thousands years. Before Christianity, there was Judaism. Christianity's roots are in Judaism. The timeline goes like this. After Adam and Eve fell from God's grace in roughly 4004 B.C., there were still many who believed in God, and countless others that didn't. So around 2500BC, Noah and his family got in the ark and the flood came. Everyone who had believed in God (apparently only Noah + Noah's family) survived. Then, though people knew of God, they did not obey His will, and turned away from him. At roughly 1800BC then came Judaism, which allowed the Israelites to gain salvation through sin sacrifices (of animals). You see, no one was denied entrance to Heaven because they were in the wrong time or place. They were denied entrance to Heaven because they did not know about God. <br /> <br /> As to your solution, the world cannot be more peaceful and more tolerant. Eventually would a dictator arise, tempted by Satan to destroy the world. I guess you should join the New World Order guys who want to maintain the world's population under half a billion. Or you can join the force that prevails in the end, by confessing Jesus as Lord and Savior. God is a God of divine justice. It is for this reason that not everyone can enter Heaven.
