Oh reallly... modern humans have been around for 2000,00 years. Yet, we have only about 6 Billion people on this planet. Talk about a mathe problem! WoW!
Heh, seriously? People thousands of years ago were not scientifically equipped for all manner of diseases, plagues, droughts, and other ills...therefore, populations were very much at risk for having large numbers wiped out. The explosion of population we see now is the direct result of the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions, which didn't happen until the 17th-19th centuries! Also the amount of progress we are expected to have in the 21st century alone is equivalent to 20,000 years worth of progress that came before it.
For someone who claims to have Ph.D's, I'm surprised you would say something so silly!
Mocking others before you present any facts is like advertizing for something you have never seen. You may end up looking foolish!
1. I did not know that scientifically equipping was the criteria for survival? This sounds a bit contradictory at the least.
2. Arbitrarily inserting the idea that large numbers were wiped out without any evidence is a mythical mindset. Not only have you not presented what "large numbers" really mean, but you also have not provided anything that is valid. This seems like a philosophical, faith based message, IMHO.
3. Here, let me help you: Let us take your theory concerning the timeframe for humans as 200,000 years (this number is quite arbitrary, but many evolutionists [not all] believe it).
So, the question can be asked, "how long does it take for the population to double? If one were to invest $100 in the bank at 7% interest per year, it would take 10 years for this to double - $200.00. It would take another 10 years for that to double - $400.00. So, for the sake of argument, let us take two people and double their number. We won't count twins, etc... In normal circumstances, this would take a little less than 2 years. How long would it take these 4 people to double their number if all things are normal? Another 20 or 30 years? [excursus: the reality is that the first couple could have children every year, which would double the population in 4 years, and in by 8 more years the population would double again. However, we are giving the evolutionists the benefit of the doubt] To help the evolutionists again, we will propose that it takes 150 years for the population to double. This means that after 150 years after one couple procreated, 8 people existed. Now, let us ask a silly question: "How long would it take for the initial population of the two to become 6.7 billion people? It would only take 4,800 years! This is simple math, and is only meant to show how evolution does not "add up!"
Now, let us pretend that "??" evolved to be a human 200,000 years. Of course, to give the benefit of the doubt to the evolutionists again, we will pretend that two have evolved at the same time. So, we will start with one couple. Now, let us really help the evolutionist's cause. Let us say that the each couple only lived 150 years (btw, using 150 years gives the evolutionist a great mathematical advantage), but only had 4 children during those 150 years. So, this would mean that every time the population doubled, 25% would die. So, you start off with 2 people. They have 4 people. These 4 people have 16. However, 25% leave because of attrition. This leaves 12. Let us really help the evolutionist and say that another 50% die because of famine, disease, war etc... every generation from the beginning of man's existence. Now, you have 6 people living at the end of the first 300 years. These 6 have 4 children each. This is 24, but again, attrition takes 25%, leaving them 18. 50% die, leaving them 12. So, in 450 years, there are only 12 people. So, instead of double each generation, they are only adding. It takes them 900 years to double. Now, take 200,000 and divide it by 900 years for each doubling. You will come up with 222 doublings by the year this year. This means that all one needs to do is double the population on the calculator 222 times. Just doubling it 30 times will bring the population to 6.4 Billion. Ok, let us help the evolutionist out some more. Let us say that there was a major catastrophe that took place after 30 doublings. Only 10% live! That would be 6.4 million. We go back to doubling the population every 900 years. After 30 doublings, we now have 675539943986144 in population. Ok, let us help the evolutionist again. Another big catastrophe! This time only one couple lives. So, we start over, and it takes 900 years to double in population again. Now remember, for 200,000 years to pass by, we need to double 222 times. We have only done it 30 doublings. We have over 200 left. Ok, let us help them out some more, we have two or three more catastrophes, and we are left with one couple again. This time it is about 27,000 years ago. All the criteria is the same. We are only allowed to double every 900 years. Oh no - our calculations tell us that we have over 6.4 billion people on the earth again. Who came up with this 200,000 mythical number anyway?
