Creation of the Earth v.s. creation of man

Try item 4 here.You haven't really thought this through have you ?Fortunately for you somebody else not quite so gullible has. If you run the numbers using the values specified by Creation Evidences Museum they don't give the values you quote in your second box, or anything even in the same ballpark.I especially like the observation that the Egyptians must have built the Pyramids using less than 1000 people And the fact that your favoured hypothesis gives the number of people alive when Christ was born as 681,835 - care to explain the discrepancy with the 250 million your second quote says were alive then ? ROTFLMAOWhat is really really interesting is that the numbers quoted by your Creation Evidences Museum do indeed come up with six billion in the present day. That means whoever originally came up with this claim was capable of doing the math. Maybe they were too sloppy, too lazy or too stupid to do a sanity check to see whether the populations were sensible at various intermediate points in history. Then again, maybe they did a sanity check but decided to ignore it 'cos the claim is obviously good enough to sucker gullible people who don't check what's in front of them.Note that the formula for calculating the population is given in the rebuttal article I linked to (unlike in any of the Creationist sites where you can find this horseshit).If you want to dispute the formula or the results all you have to do is show your working ABE: *by* Creation Evidences Museum typoThis message has been edited by MangyTiger, 05-24-2005 04:15 PM

Oops! Wrong Planet

So are you saying you posted two pieces of information which contradict each other without any explanation ? The way I read your original post was that you were either suggesting or assuming that the figures you quoted from the overpopulation site supported the figures used by Creation Evidences Museum (CEM).If so I'm missing what the point of your two quoted boxes was ?Actually though, none of that matters. Do you dispute the figures shown on the link I provided ? Unless you can show something wrong in those figures it pretty much nails the quote from CEM as worthless (since it produces nonsensical values for intermediate points in history).P.S. I'll be away from the PC for an hour or two.
