A question by someone who actually believes in the creation and Noah?

Question

Please comment on the following?

World population growth rate in recent times is about 2% per year. Practicable application of growth rate throughout human history would be about half that number. Wars, disease, famine, etc. have wiped out approximately one third of the population on average every 82 years. Starting with eight people, and applying these growth rates since the Flood of Noah's day (about 4500 years ago) would give a total human population at just under six billion people. However, application on an evolutionary time scale runs into major difficulties. Starting with one "couple" just 41,000 years ago would give us a total population of 2 x 1089. 9 The universe does not have space to hold so many bodies.

Answer 1

This is just one SMALL problem with evolution. The fact that it is taught as scientific fact in school makes me ill. I have done a lot of study in this area, and everything points to creation, not evolution, from a scientific standpoint. Evolutionists simply refuse to listen to reason, because they do not want to admit that they have a higher authority they have to answer to.

Answer 2

Yes it is true. 1. The proof is in the fossils that where caused by the flood, in the fact that every culture has recorded this event at approximately the same date in time, in the fact that mountains contain fossils of marine life on their summits, and the list can go on. About where the water came from the Bible is very explicit. The atmosphere of the earth was saturated with vapors of water. This cause all over the earth a tropical climate with no need for rain. The Bible says that before the flood it did not rain on the earth. Noah has put two of every species that could not survive the flood. (insects eggs would have survived, and marine life also). Plants also can survive the flood. Animals most likely entered a state similar to hibernation on the boat and they did not eat anything. 3. Actually before the flood the earth was composed of one big continent with two populations of people (descendants of Seth and Cain). Before the flood we see the two lines mixed and people become wicked practising magic, astrology, murder, cannibalism and every sort of evil deed. Because those people would be just machines. Without free will there is no merit to the human for doing something good. Because the entire planet was affected by human sins. God is also just and punishing the wicked. Seeing only the merciful side of God is a mistake. So Noah's ark is not fake.

Answer 3

The earth is perhaps billions of years old. However Man was created approx 6000 years ago. Don't know for sure how long the first couple lived before having children

Answer 4

That's a creationist strawman. Population growth was nearly stagnant during the dark ages, in fact during the Black Death the population actually dropped.
Ancient mortality rates where so high that it was very difficult for the population to grow much at all. It wasn't until the industrial revolution that humans began to experience an exponential growth in population.

Answer 5

You *must* be joking. Even just a couple of hundred years ago, people would have perhaps a dozen children and only one or two would survive to adulthood. One of the queens of England, who ought to have had access to the best possible health care in the world at the time, had (I think) 14 children, of whom not a single one survived to adulthood.

So, your numbers are a nonsense.

Answer 6

If I understand your meaning you are saying that using an evoutionary time scale and saying that there would be more people than the universe can hold.. What are you talking about? Jim

Answer 7

You are not taking into account varying growth rates. Also, don't forget that this planet was/is under God's direct supervision. Things will go the way that He wants them to go, no matter what we do.

Answer 8

Interesting. Not sure we can make the assumptions you claim, however. Only one relatively recent catastrophe wiping out 3/4 would throw the equation out of whack.

Answer 9

If all the microbes in your gut were allowed to reproduce at their maximum rate, your butt hole would have to be three feet wide to handle the outflow. Obviously, you already did that with your brain when you opted to swallow the delusional superstitionism of religious belief.

Answer 10

Here is the problem:
application on an "evolutionary time scale"
