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.
@Charity It can’t be scientifically proven because no statistics were kept for the general population. Millennia ago, all women had to give birth about six times just maintain the population.

@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.

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.

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?
