Everything including history is looked at from an evolution perspective eventhough not one scientist has proven,showed or demonstrated life evolves,they go back billions of years and keep life living even through extinction events for the sake of evolution,they claim this world has gone on continually for billions of years and it is fulfilled bible prophecy that this would be taught in the last days and it is being taught today which is why you believe itHappyFlappyDeist wrote:To address Abel's claim on the first page , which I assume he's referencing on the op, let me state the following.
We did not have a constant rate of birth, you cannot use the rate of birth and population to determine the age of our species. As shown below it makes no sense.
Population has boomed in the last century due to the Haber process, which has dramatically changed the earth's ability to sustain population; therefore it is impossible to calculate a consistent rate of population incline. (to 7 billion)
You could, however, calculate human population to an extent before the 19th century. This dealing with historical records, fossil records, estimation for death from disease, AND the type of society prevalent at that time ( I.E hunter and gatherer, farming et cetera. )
We can actually estimate the population of a society, such as Egypt, using the historical records/archeology of its agricultural development. But this is aside the point, just fun info.
2nd Peter 3:3-7 told us that in the last days mockers would come saying Where is the promise of his coming?"for since the fathers died all things continue as they were from the beginning" and it goes on to tell us this is not true,there was a gap that is overlooked between the former world that existed and this world,it tells us the former world perished in water inwhich both the heavens and earth was flooded and that this is overlooked.
This flood is often said to be Noah's flood but only the earth was flooded in Noah's flood and this world did not perish so we go to Genesis 1 because the earth and heavens are flooded but restored to sustain this world.This world was created about 6000 years ago but we must not overlook the former world that perished inwhich all life in it died and there was a gap of time and this is what the evidence in the earth proves not life evolves.
So unless you can prove,show or demonstrate scientifically life evolves there is no reason to look at the history of the earth from an evolution perspective like science has keeping it going for billions of years because of this belief life evolves.
Now you may say I don't believe the bible over science but you believe this world has gone on continuously for billions of years with no gap because of what science teaches today because of evolution,according to the bible this is wrong,there was a gap of time between the former world and this world.
OK now we are in this world and can't overlook Noah's flood that effected this world since Adam and Eve.We must account for it too biblically.
Now on the one hand you say the population cannot be calculated yet say it can be now which I don't buy but in the calculations I used they are very conservative calculations which makes it viable,the population growth rate is about 3.5 children per family world wide but noticed iin my calculations we used 2.5 children per famiily,you see the population could not grow because of death if we went below 2.5 children .5 allows for slow growth despite death and if you go back 4300 years ago and come up to today we should have about 7 billion humans today using very conservative calculations.
Also if we leveled out the earth's surface that makes the oceans so deep the whole earth would be flooded over the tallest mountains on land right now.This would make Noah's flood not so impossible like bible skeptics claim,for it shows there is enough water for a global flood.
