What was the world like at the time of 5767 years ago?
Probably beautiful, green, luxuriant with trees and fruits and growing things, all one continent, mild climate. One couple of human beings in a garden, and a lot of animals.
What was life like for the folk in the Americas?
They were still "in the loins of" Adam as scripture would put it. Didn't get to the Americas until oh a few hundred years after the flood at least. The Americas did not yet exist either. The continents didn't separate until after the flood.
What civilizations had grown and fallen?
none
What were the trees of the period, the plants?
Dunno. Perhaps the fossil record gives a clue. Whatever is fossilized in ALL the strata from top to bottom was on earth before the flood.
What were people growing?
Well, Adam and Eve were tending the garden in Eden, but they didn't become farmers until they were expelled therefrom.
What animals had been domesticated?
They were probably all tame with human beings but not what you'd call "domesticated." This was the very beginning you know, the very beginning of the creation.
What technologies were prominent?
Probably didn't have any, but I don't know.
What was clothing like?
They were naked, remember?
How about housing and shelter?
Doubt they needed any, the natural conditions being paradisical, but it is not said in any case
What about towns and villages?
Are you sure you don't mean to be asking about a time AFTER 5767? But I would guess that anything before the flood perished in the flood. No reason to think anything survived. So how would you be able to find such settlements to find out?
How large was the world population at that time?
2 (Two)
But within even a hundred years it could have grown quite a bit, and within 500 dramatically. If A&E had 30 or 50 children and each of those had that many (they had hundreds of years of vigorous life in those years), 2 million in four generations (100 years? or were they older before they procreated in those days?), 72 million in five generations, at an average of 30 offspring each, and on it goes.
But I suppose this isn't "scientific" and this is a Capital S Science thread so I will now exit and let you all play to your heart's content.
