Re: "Popular" arguments
A population can not exceed it's available food source for any sustained period of time. End of story.
But with 5 trillion people there, think of all the Soylent Green they'd have. They could feed multitudes!

Water water everywhere, and Joseph can not think
This is a myth. Australia is surrounded by H20 and has more water than the middle-east, which is also half desert. Sparse population still cannot justify no evidences at all for 60K years.
Surrounded by _salt water_ which clearly you have been drinking.
AND, you are desperately trying to change topics. "evidences at all for 60k years"??! WTF does that have to do with your claim that there should be 5 trillion Australians.
Could 5 trillion people living in Australia TODAY? Right now? Even with worldwide food production? We wouldn't have enough people over the entire rest of the world to produce and transport enough food fast enough to support that many people in Australia. And we have PLANES.
Clearly population size is limited by resources.
Until you admit that, there's really no reason for you to type anything.

You really must be living in la la land
As a citizen of La La Land, I reject your insulting implication that we'd ever accept someone like Joseph here.

Re: "Popular" arguments
So you accept that today's population of some 6.5B is resultant from 30K years ago - or even 60K?

Re: "Flawed" arguments

Modern humans (archaic variety) developed on the close order of 200,000 years ago.
But your argument is clearly flawed: the growth rate of bacteria is such that if they multiplied as you imply humans do they would exceed the mass of the earth in short order, and the mass of the universe not long after.

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

Re: "Popular" arguments
I think homo sapiens is even older then that and i accept it, while you reject reality and substitute your own.

Where do mosquitoes fit into your 'kinds'?
Are they land kind; are they water kind or are the airborne kind?

None of that had anything at all to do with the topic.
Simple question: Among those Christian groups that would embrace "creation science", commonly called "fundamentalists" though that term properly applied is too narrow, is the purpose of education to compel the students to adopt certain beliefs?

Re: Call 911
Your frog leaping, as seen in most responses here. The issue was the first recording of life form groupings. Otherwise start a thread of the most colorful deflection strategies.

What the hell does "the first recording of life form groupings" even mean?

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

I wasn't asking - I was reminding you to read before wasting virtual ink. 'Winged creatures' are surely listed, even as emerging from the waters, in the only hard copy texts greater than 2,300 years old.
