and various other forms of death

8,589,934,592

The population does not double each generation, so your entire premise is wrong.

so if you can get that many people in 33 generations and presuming a 20 year per generation cycle

that is 660 years

@The18thDoctor kevin doesnt care

um, 18thdoctor, do you know how big families were in the early days

ummm do you know how many people died

even in 3rd world countries today they expect kids to die, so they have many children to offset that loss

Yeah, only one or two surviving children.

not always, sometimes there is more

and you arent taking into accout other forms of death

like plague, war, famine, etc

aviable food

anyhows, the point is that saying stuff about current birth rates and trying to project them into the past as if that was how they did things is patently false and obviously a fallacy

Kevin you haven't accounted for death rate, infertility, or anything at all other than birth. Your calculation is dumb as heck.

Sometimes. For the population to double, every single person needs to marry and have four children that all survive long enough to have kids.

your missing the point

Mind not insulting Kevin

which is what I was getting to

See this is why people shouldn't interrupt other people

660 years is not account for all the death, and all the extraneous stuff like war disease and murder that hinders people thriving

So what you have, at best, is a proof of concept.

so a little less than 10 times that amount to compensate for all the death, murder, disease, plagues, and weather like lightning and heart attacks

cancer

in 6 K years its possible, I would say probable, that people could go from 2 people to 7 billion, not even 8 billion people on this flat earth

That’s a mighty big assumption to be making, that a factor of ten accounts for all of that.

I rest my case unless I hear objections

i dont think anyone argues that there could be 8 billion people in 6000 years

its also not 8.5 billion, its 7.5 billion people on the planet, so its more than 10 X in compensation

You have been this whole time you just don't listen

Objection: According to my calculations, only two children from each family would survive to have children when accounting for death and disease, so the population should stay the same.

And it would take an extremely long amount of time to grow to 7.5 billion.

population has been growing and continues to grow

china did some radical laws to try to mitigate growth because they saw in the long run they were going to have mass starvation

kevin, this is a useless point, no one argues we can have a population of 8 billion people

Records, actual historical evidence, shows that until a couple hundred years ago, the increase in population was very, very slow.

people were argueing with me until my awesome debating skills proved them without a doubt that I was right

that is how you win a debate people

no one wants to argue with the professor

I’ve presented two objections that you have ignored.
