Taking the title above into account, that\u2019s equal to 100 doublings of the population of Earth since the supposed introduction of Homo Sapiens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ice age factors are accounted for in my population projections. There was plenty of land mass that was relatively unaffected by glaciation. These include Africa, South East Asian, and Australia. In addition, many cultures learned to live in cold climates as we understand from Inuit and Sami peoples. Studies have shown hunter-gathers successfully built communities and prospered as well as agricultural communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is it reasonable to assume even hunter gathers were able to\ndouble their population every 2,000 years, allowing for the pitfalls of\nprehistoric living? This is in reality a very generous number to work with\nespecially when a family can easily produce more than 10 offspring in their\nlife. Allowing that some died before reaching maturity, we would double the\npopulation if only 4 survive in a 40 to 50-year time span. But, let\u2019s have man be\ntotally inept and require a generous 2,000 years to double the population of\nthe planet accounting for periods of famine, disease, and warfare. We start\nwith 2 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, that\u2019s only doubling earth\u2019s population every 2,000 years. Something fishy about this scenario. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The literal creationist argument can even work. If we look at a\nreasonable growth rate of a doubling every 100 years.

This result is too high for the assumed population at that time. One\npopulation estimate for 1 A.D. is approximately 170 million. If we move back\n500 years in this list, we would have come close at the 192 million population\nlevel. With a slight upward adjustment of the 100 year doubling to 125 years,\nwe arrive at the following world population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 1,000 Years:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 12, 24, 48, 96, 192, 384, 768, 1536<\/p>\n\n\n\n (For simplicity we will round off the last number to 1,500)<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2,000 Years:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3000, 6000, 12,000, 24,000 48,000 96,000 192,000 384,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 3,000 Years:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 768,000 1,536,000 3,072,000 6,144,000 12,288,000 24,576,000 49,152,000\n98,304,000<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n With the adjustment to 125 years per doubling of population the results are significantly reduced to 98 million. This is a little over one half of the estimated population for the time. This tells us the average rate for is between 100 and 125 years for each doubling of the population. Assuming the extent of war, famine, and disease was not as extensive as the last two millennia and that the literal time gap between the flood and 1 A.D. is probably greater by several thousand years, this should be a reasonable projection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is still two to three times the normal generational doubling of population expected in the 40-year fertility period of a married couple. It allows for premature deaths due to war, disease, and famine. Obviously, the evolutionary population growth scenario would also share such problems, but they are well provided for the in 2,000-year doubling period. The population density grossly exceeded the ability of the planet to support it. Even the faulty population bottleneck theory those 70,000 years ago cannot account for the geometric growth problems of this scenario. Let\u2019s not count out a literal worldwide Noah\u2019s Flood just yet. Unless we allow for multiple massive extinctions throughout this era, we have no solution. The Toba event seems to be an inadequate explanation. Maybe the obvious should be considered. Of course, the scientific mind dares not fathom the biblical possibility.

Now we compare population growth based on the creationist explanation of history. The Bible seems to place the flood of Noah at about 3,000 B.C. which, if true, wiped out the entire population of earth except for this family. We begin with his 3 son and 3 daughters-in-law as our first generation<\/p>\n\n\n\n
