Re: Driving My Population Argument Home
Buzz, I'm truly speachless... have you read anything that Percy has stated? A growth rate of 0.5% for 20500 years??? You've just been told that the growth rate from 1CE to 1000CE was around 0.04%. Where the hell do you get 0.5% from?

Re: Driving My Population Argument Home
et's set the average growth rate at .01% factoring in everything
Buz, if you did use .01% then your answer would be 109 people in 60,000 years
You've used 0.1%
Give it up, Buz - the horse isn't just dead, it's partly fossilised - thats not a hole anymore, it's a tunnel to Australia, etc, etc

Re: Still NO support for Biblical Creationism
The low 0.1 percentage factors the unfavorable resource factor in, not to mention the 60000 head start which I gave you
NO! You CANNOT treat true population growth over some extended period this way, by picking some "appropriate" average growth rate - it is simply WRONG. Look at the rate now, at the rate 80 years ago, 200 years ago, 1000 years ago. Do these look like figures you can simply average and hope to retain some semblance of reality?
You have demonstrated nothing except a willful ignorance of the subject matter.
