From Noah to 8 Billion People

Scientific statistics shows that around 10,000 years ago between 1 on the low end and 10 million on the high end people were on the Earth, they're not quite sure how many, nor could they be.

From Noah and the flood estimated 4 to 6,000 years ago, an "absolute" time frame is impossible to calculate. How could eight or even six people populate the Earth to 8 billion in 5,000 years.

Do the calculation yourself? I did, starting with Adam and Eve and using the 6000 year frame
and indeed it is, and that's giving account to the millions, if not a billion that has died over that span of time.

ADDING

Females marrying and giving birth to children at a much younger age generally 12 to 15 years old, prior to 200 years ago and I'll even say 150. And this was in many if not most cultures.

Females were giving birth on average to seven children, sometimes much much more, 10 / 12.

And scientifically it cannot be proven as an absolute how many children survived in any family, it's all guess work. And just looking at my family tree history, and they were extremely poor, maybe one baby died per generation.

@BlueSkyKing I guess you just read what you want to read into what I said, I never said it was scientific fact I actually said
it cannot be scientifically proven

guess what at one child a year for 10 years or one child a year for five years it can be done through mathematical calculations.

And it is well known men took children brides and most families were extremely large up until the 20th century.

Maybe not worldwide. I don’t know about the various civilized societies in Africa, China, India, and the Americas. Multiple wives are likely.

There is no science in the fictional book nor is it a history book.

You started this by saying a statistic of ten thousand years, then you say six thousand years.

A book you should check out is "Guns, Germs, and Steel" by Jarad Diamond. It won a Pulitzer.

@BlueSkyKing

As I said before the Bible has in it things science has claimed as fact in the past 100 years, you can reject the truth all you want, makes me no difference.

And I started it off with 10,000 years because that's what the US government statistic basis is analogies on as well as the second link provided. Seems like common sense would see that but when one is looking for an argument one overlooks the obvious.

And I ""personally"" use 6,000 years as a basis, that is of course what atheist would use when referring to Christianity.

What difference does it make?

@gregloa to some it makes no difference to others they say it's impossible.

Pro creation. Through good times and bad people keep on breeding.

The age of consent was 7 in America in 1895. During slavery there was no minimum so, can you imagine, how many slave owners were pedophiles?
