Is there a numerical date system (for example, today's date might be day 12873461 from a fixed point in history) where I could simply divide by 70 and grab the remainder? Then, use the date function to convert that number into an EST date stamp?

That sounds like the unix epoch ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time ), floored to the nearest multiple of 86400. Something like time() % ( 70 * 86400 ) should give you the number of days since the last divide-by-70 day starting with 1/1/1970. It was 5+ days ago.
