Ted Krapkat has improved upon my argument by applying the creationist logic directly to the human population: If we create a simple formula using today's population of ~6 billion, and figure in the starting population (8 individuals), and the starting time (4360 YBP), we get an annual growth rate of about 0.0047. Since that IS what happened, according to creationists, and it IS the only possible explanation for today's human population then...
At Christ's death there were only about half a million people in the whole world!
At the time the Israelites entered Canaan, (about 1180 BCE) we get a world population of 2024! By the time you divide that up between Egypt, Canaan, the rest of the world, and Israel, that leaves maybe 6 or 7 people for the Israelite army!
If we go back to the time that the Jews were expelled from Egypt, in 1560 BCE, we get a world population of only 340 people!
In 2300 BCE there were only about 10 people on Earth!

God played Al Greene music that covered the planet.
I understand the point of your question, but it is futile to use logic in an argument with a creationist, they simply do not care that their beliefs are illogical.

It's amazing. The numbers contradict the census in Numbers. Clearly the Bible is false since his model is accurate -- it fits the curve at two points.

Gilgamesh and a few others had boats too, so I'm sure they helped.
