My answer is yes! There was enough time from the flood for the population to grow to the estimated value at the time of Christ. But the entire solar system could not contain the population that would developed in a million years.
Estimates at the time of Christ---300 million total human population.If the flood was about 5000 B.C. and if the average length of a generation was forty years, Noah's family of eight would reach 300 million by Christ's time if each family had an average of 2.3 children. Thus the theory that the human race had been multiplying for a million years or more seems absurd, even with modern medicine and technology being available.
If the annual growth rate were 0.01 percent, in a million years the population would be 10/43 people. Enough people to fill 3,500 solar systems with bodies out to the orbit of the planet Pluto(formerly).
My point: "God is Creator" and he Created all things.
