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
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.
