Does our population prove Evolution wrong?

In 1991 the population of the world was about 5,385,000,000 and the overall rate of population growth between 1985 and 1990 was 1.7%/year. At only a population growth of the worst figure for England in resent times of 0.43%/year it would only take 8 people (There were 8 in the ark) 4738 years to reach the present world population figure. At 0.377%/year population growth over 10,000 years the population now would be: 44,000,000,000,000,000. Over 50,000 years the population would rise to:

10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

Update:

There is clearly no evidence of all these people meanwhile the figures fit perfectly with a world wide flood around 2350 BC as indicated in the Bible. The evolutionist has to believe mankind stayed primitive for millions of years at negligible population growth then about 5,000 years ago then he suddenly became civilised and the population started to grow. It is amazing what some people are prepared to believe despite all the evidence they spend their lives studying.

Update 2:

Umm, Phyllis...this isn't science, it's basic math.

Update 3:

MeMyself...I noticed that you didn't refute what I wrote. What's the matter?

Update 4:

Mel - say something to refute it then. Can't do it?

Update 5:

Acid - these numbers take all those things into consideration.

Update 6:

Sloop - you say I'm wrong...prove it. It's easy for everyone to say that it is incorrect, but i don't see anyone refuting with any verifiable facts.

    I think the FACT that nothing nor no one is still evolving proves that evolution is wrong.

    Population growth doesn't quite work like that. You're assuming that the population grew at a consistent rate over time. It hasn't.

    The increase in the size of a population (such as the human population) is an example of exponential growth. The human population grew at the slow rate of only about 0.002 percent a year for the first several million years of our existence. Since then the average annual rate of human population has increased to an all-time high of 2.06 percent in 1970. As the base number of people undergoing growth has increased, it has taken less and less time to add each new billion people. It took 2 million years to add the first billion people; 130 years to add the second billion; 30 years to add the third billion; 15 years to add the fourth billion; and only 12 years to add the fifth billion. We are now approaching the sixth billion.

    I am absolutely rebutting with verifiable facts. Look it up yourself.

    The plural of quantum will be quanta, no longer quanties. This bickering over the note concept is stupid. it really is even sillier once you employ it about evolution. the theory isn't evolution.. the theory is about the organic decision. that is called the theory of Evolution with the help of organic decision. as with all technological expertise each and every concept stands on the info that carry it up. in case you could teach to different scientists that the theory is incorrect purely so as that they could do your attempt and teach it to themselves that that is incorrect then that theory ought to get replaced to in positive condition any new info. Einstein's theories did precisely that to Newton's rules. Scientists discovered that at %'s drawing close the speed of light Newton's rules were no longer adequate to describe or predict the info. a medical concept is a hypothesis supported with the help of very a lot of evidence which stands the attempt of time, commonly examined and not in any respect rejected. note that the final public makes use of the note concept to advise a lack of expertise or a wager, purely the alternative of the medical meaning. Darwin's concept of evolution with the help of organic decision is an social gathering of a medical concept. It has survived medical scrutiny for more desirable than 100 thirty years and evidence to help it keeps to receive.

    I was going to go into a long counter to this argument, but I just don't have the energy. Here's a quick and dirty:

    The relative levels of genetic diversity required to sustain the viability of the Human species is a gene pool about 10,000 strong. The amount of inbreeding that is the resultant of only 4 family lines interbreeding would creat so many deformities that the viability of the species is nil. Quite simply, no group less than a few thousand strong could repopulate the Earth.

    And what makes you think the population growth rate hasn't changed? People died more often back then. You had plague, no medicine, unsanitary conditions.

    "The evolutionist has to believe mankind stayed primitive for millions of years at negligible population growth then about 5,000 years ago then he suddenly became civilised and the population started to grow"

    -- More or less, yeah.

    You talk about population growth for "recent times". You fail to take into account the mortality rate of early man. You also fail to take into account the fact that the average human lifespan prior to the last five hundred years was only 30 or 40 years. Your projections for population growth are skewed as are your ignorant assumptions.

  • 1 decade ago

    What's wrong with that idea? actually , there's nothing that proves there weren't higher levels of population at certain times, There is a reason China and India have such a disportionate amount of populace. Take also for instance the American Indians, very sparsley populated until "civilization" moved in. (at least in North america). Also there is recent evidence that evolution is much faster than before believed. We have parasitic Retroviruses that re-write our DNA for us.

    Population growth has not been constant. It changes every year.

    Were moses's wifes of chid bearing age.

    How deep was the flood.

    Where did the water go.

    What about the other animals that died, don't you think it was a bit overkill, all the kittens and puppies lost. Don't like the sound of this chap much.

    You are assuming that population growths are constant. They are far from constant. You have failed to even figure in catastrophic events like the black plague. But it is well known that population growth is always changing. Right now, there are European countries that have 0% population growth. By your reasoning there have been humans there forever. You may be able to use statistics, but you certainly don't understand them.

    lol lol

    that's what you call logical thinking??

    rotflmao

    <edit>

    There's nothing to refute! This is all garbage! You haven't even taken any other factors into consideration like wars & disease! Much less the fact that you're basing it on England...a tiny island with so much human transit that even today it can't be tracked. You haven't given me anything reasonable to refute. It's kinda like saying a dog hiccuped in London 600 years ago and asking me to argue over it. I mean...huh? Geez, just how many times did your parents drop you on your head as a baby??

    That is just too absurd to be believed. I don't want to be cheeky but I can't believe people are so ignorant and uneducated. The vagaries of demographics are clearly way beyond your understanding.

    Edit-It's basic maths? Are you even remotely aware of demographics? The idea of constant demographic change over time is INSANE. Do you grasp that fact you madman?

    Acid zebra has already destroyed your argument by pointing out that mortality is not constant due to a whole multitude of factors- birthrates are not constant due again to many different factors. For you to ignore those factors and provide a simplistic calculation of demographic change over a period of over 8 millenia is too ludicrous to be believed.
