The Halo's were activated 100,000ish years ago. The Sun wasn't even formed a billion years ago.
earth is about 5 billion years old (4.6 to be more exact) and the halos would have had to have been activated way before 100,000 years ago humans have been on earth for about 2 million years (some theories say as long as 600 million) and there were dinosaurs millions of years before that, and there were creatures in the ocean that would have been wiped out by the rings.Sorry I was talking bollocks :) (I can't belive that got through the filter)
But the Network was last activated 100,000 years ago:
Halo. Bungie.Org
For exactly 101 217 local years, it lay forgotten and derelict in a disused portion of space. Sedentary, save for the unrelenting pull of Basis and Threshold, Halo was a testament to its builders' technological capabilities. It was constructed to withstand innumerable millennia, and this superannuated edifice certainly shows that the Forerunner were very capable at their craft. So Installation 04 sat; a facility left derelict for eons by its makers, yet visited and documented by numerous races throughout its quiescent past. Not till recently, however, was its purpose dredged from its depths.
