The Flood account in the Book of Genesis is also corroborated by the world's population statistics. Today, we're taught that humans evolved about 2 million years ago. Then why are there only 6 billion people in the world?
In the year 2000, the world's population topped 6 billion. In 1985, it passed 5 billion. In 1977, it topped 4 billion. In 1962, it passed 3 billion. In 1930, the world's population was approximately 2 billion. In 1800, it was approximately 1 billion.
Based on census DATA, scholars estimate the world's population was about 1/4 billion at the time of Christ (1 AD). The Flood was approximately 4,400 years ago, with 8 human survivors. If we follow the population growth curve, we see that the world's human population could have come from 4 couples 4,400 years ago. It seems the human population growth rate is about 2% per year.
Well, what about all of the wars, famines, plagues, etc? Take the Black Plague for example. It killed off 1/3 of Europe's entire population. Yet, in less than 100 years, the population bounced back and surpassed the original population. This is because the infrastructure was already established. The world's population took a dive during World War II, but immediately came back with the baby boomers. After a great loss, there is always a massive boom.
The bottom line is this: if humans have been around for 1 million years (half of the 2 million presupposed by evolutionists), according to the current growth rate, the world's human population should be 10^8600. That's a 10 with 8,600 zeros after it! Double that if you believe its 2 million years old. 16 million years, some think. Then we need 10^51600 zeros after it!
BEAR in mind: logic dictates the simplest answer is true.
DON’T give me wars and plagues….LOOK AT the difference.
We have 7,000,000
LOOK AT THE NUMBER
If the Bible is not true AND LOGIC dictates the simplest answer is true (except in this case of course,right?)…..
What happened??
WHERE are all the people??
IF THE EARTH IS 1 MILLION YEARS OLD…..there should be THIS many people:

People.
WHERE ARE THEY ALL?
DON’T give me wars and plagues….LOOK AT the difference.
We have 7,000,000
LOOK AT THE ABOVE NUMBER
If the Bible is not true AND LOGIC dictates the simplest answer is not true…..
What happened??

You obviosuly don't understand the concept of geometric progression, the parabolic arc of population growth. Be that as it may, what evidence that you have that the Biblical flood was 4,400 years ago?
It is possible to believe in God and accept the fact that science can tell us the story of how He does His work. Obviously He is capable of creating a universe of physical laws, billion-year-old planets, evolving life forms, etc. To deny that He can do those things to deny God Himself. Think about that.

You are way off. If it was true, how come the population of - say -- bears -- become stable?
The current trend to growing human population is essentially due to the fact mankind is not in ecological balance. Any animal population is rendered stable from the effect of food availability, the presence of predators, and the rate of reproduction. It is only recently that those factors have been overwhelmed by agriculture, organized defense against large predatory animals, and medicine.
If you want to believe that the flood was so real, explain how come you have black, asian and caucasian people, allegedly descendants from the same 8 people?
Why do you assume everyone survived? On average, women had a few kids, and 2 or 3 survived to adulthood. And most people died in their 40's.
The truth is that the bible account of a flood is just pure baloney.
I mean, water above the tallest montains? That would be Mt Everest. To cover all the planet with that much water means several times more water than is contained in all the oceans now (the average depth of the ocean is much less than the height of Mt. Everest). Where did all that water go?
Where did it all come from?

The growth rate can change depending on the conditions of people at the time. Remember that the growth is not always exponential. It can vary.
The exponential model is a simple one, but it is not truly realistic. Have you ever heard that as families get bigger, they are harder to maintain? This logic applies down to population growth and the environment as well.
In the past, before all the technology and infrastructure existed, humans did not easily survive. Often, they would be killed before they reproduced, and if there were too many humans living in one place, resources would run out and some would die of famine. Therefore, an increase in population leads to a decrease in the growth rate, and a decrease in population leads to an increase in the growth rate. However, the growth rate may get negative.
With such checks and balances in place, a population can remain stagnant or decline. This is why we have more and more humans today - technology is messing around with the previous checks and balances.

Just as everyone had stated, but in a better fashion...
The growth rate of the human population has not always been the same. Things and occurrences have happened that caused drops or spikes in the human population.
Technology has advanced. Now, people are preventing the chances of death with the medical technology we have today.
Before, if someone was to be beaten by a bat, there would be no technological help available. Humans have created a world that can dodge death easily. As we find more and more cures for diseases and find ways (such as cloning) to increase the human population, our world will grow.

If there replaced right into a international extensive flood there may well be a very obvious signature interior the geology. there is not any such signature. Your variety is thoroughly baseless. human beings have been fantastically much extinct at one ingredient. there have been decrease than 2,000. finally, the moon is shifting faraway from the Earth approximately an inch a year. that's relaxing how that replaced into first found out. There are tidal rocks that tutor the impression of the Moon over tens of millions of years. Geologist that regarded at them reported that the day was shorter and the tides extra extreme. This cause them to have the skill to calculate that the Moon replaced into closer and slowly shifting out, with the quantity that it strikes out accelerating. This has because been checked with direct length by using bouncing a laser off a reflect that replaced into left in the process the Apollo missions. Now you opt for me to have self assurance that those adult adult males found out one in all those ingredient, yet they have not have been given any thought how old the rocks that they used to do it are.

I reiterate what others have said.
The growth in population is due to the agricultural revolution and later the industrial revolution. Both advanced human civilization to being able to produce and store large quantities of food, enabling sedintary life instead of nomadic hunter/gatherers.
If you really used logic, you wouldn't rely on the Bible for facts.
And yeah, the earth is 4.4 billion years old. It's not only evolution that tells us this, it's geology, physics, chemistry.. basically every field of science. Get the facts you are trying to dispute first straight, before you try to dispute them.

Quit trying to pass yourself off as a legitimate scientist. It does not become you. You are free to believe whatever you wish to believe, but if you want to be taken seriously by anyone else, you need to study what logic really is. If you had even the slightest idea of that, then you would understand that you used at least a half dozen logical fallacies in your argument.
