Here are the raw facts.

About 6.5 billion people in the world.

At a growth rate of 0.5% per year, and Noah's 4 sons and thier wives, with 4,500 years since the flood, the total is about 6 billion, (that is 6,000,000,000,).

Under Evolution, and first man being 'evolved' from the ape about 1 million years ago, (and using only a .01% growth rate, much lower than the average,) this would net... 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 people, (or 10 to the 43rd,).

Why is this simple and basic fact ignored? If we almost became extint in the 'stone age' 500,000 years ago, where are the bodies or the powdered bone and artifacts? Even then, there would trillions more people now.
The actual population growth rate is about 2%, using 1/4th of that accounts for losing 1/3rd of the people every few generations. Even then, at a million years of growth at .01% we arrive at that number. This is basic math, not some made up calculation. If we used the average growth rates, (I didn't, I used much less,) the number of people on the earth would total more like 120 x 10 to the 60th...

Wow, alot of responses...
As a note, .01% used for Evolution DOES account for famine, Black Plague, infant death rates, and figures 1 in 100 makes it too fatherhood... This rate is used as an Extreme Low End Number. Science refuses to even address this, much like political debate, (as was mentioned,) avoid the question or you give it legitamacy.

Interesting note: Are that many of you fighting Christianity? Not a single response from a Christian? May have to pick the funniest response...
Someone mentioned "Rapid Medical Improvements" changing the growth rate. Yet the facts are that 3rd world nations have a much higher population growth rate, while industrialized nations are slower.

Population growth in a number of South American and African countries exceeds 3% per year. In many industrialized countries with modern medical facilities, the population growth is less than 0.5%. Some relatively wealthy countries are actually declining in population.

Look these up for yourself.
