You can't seriously suggest that that is evidence.
It's just a case of Garbage in Garbage out.

It's not evidence that humans have been around only 6000 years. It's just selective use of data to make an invalid extrapolation.
I suppose if we used a period where the population growth was negative you'd accept that as evidence we didn't exist ?

The data you are quoting shows that the population only increased by a factor of 4 between 0 AD and 1804 AD. Then it quadrupled again in a mere 170 years. That in itself illustrates that simplistic extrapolation isn't evidence.

What do you mean by a "standard graph" ? What sort of curve does it use and how do you justify the choice of curve ?
