Re: Scary Formula!
So, yes, a high birthrate sustained over a long period. But certainly not outside the realm of possibility.
​
I think you might be making a bad assumption by comparing todays higher pop growth rates of today with growth rates of millenia ago.
​
Even in the underdeveloped world I think moder sceince has probably affected todays growth rates.
You need to find other civilizations or groups who managed such a growth rate at the time, under the conditions of the time.
​
Otherwise it seems not all that credible.

Re: There's numbers and there's Numbers!
If you took an X-Ray of this story, you will find God is the very skeleton of it. Take Him out and the whole thing collapses in a heap. The maintenance of the population in the desert is a miracle, therefore I would not offer a naturalistic explanation
​
Well, if miricles are allowed then there is not discussion at all. Most of this board is discussion "scientific" creationism.
​
There are at least a couple of reasons why I'm not interested once miracles are introduced
​
1) You're in your church and out of the schools.
2) It would be like having a 18th century dual with someone equipped with a machine gun. All discussions would end with "it was a miracle" it doesn't matter how much evidence you have or how good you logic is. The no miracle side would always be wrong,every single time.
