Ben Carson drops out.

Scripture doesn't tell us the Earth is 6,000 y/o...many theologians base this on genealogies recorded in Scripture...

This is an excerpt from an interesting article I read recently...

Let us start in the beginning with one male and one female. Now let us assume that they marry and have children and that their children marry and have children and so on. And let us assume that the population doubles every 150 years. Therefore, after 150 years there will be four people, after another 150 years there will be eight people, after another 150 years there will be sixteen people, and so on. It should be noted that this growth rate is actually very conservative. In reality, even with disease, famines, and natural disasters, the world population currently doubles every 40 years or so.

After 32 doublings, which is only 4,800 years, the world population would have reached almost 8.6 billion. That’s 2 billion more than the current population of 6.5 billion people, which was recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau on March 1, 2006. This simple calculation shows that starting with Adam and Eve and assuming the conservative growth rate previously mentioned, the current population can be reached well within 6,000 years.


Evolutionists are always telling us that humans have been around for hundreds of thousands of years. If we did assume that humans have been around for 50,000 years and if we were to use the calculations above, there would have been 332 doublings, and the world’s population would be a staggering figure—a one followed by 100 zeros; that is

10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000.

Not sure you really aimed to reply to me.

Anyways, that is assuming nothing can affect the birthrate. In the times we live in we are already witnessing this in the western world. Whether this is due to education or multiples factors is hard to tell.

We also have mass extinctions from bad luck (shiiet asteroid), lack of technology (no antibiotics) or too much technology (shiiet A-bombs).

All I am saying is that assuming that population growth is as easy as a straight line like that would be a stretch in my humble opinion.

It would also likely apply to a variety of species, many of which propagate significantly faster than humans and who would be over-running the planet...if outside forces like food, weather pattern changes, ect didn't play a role.

I mean, consider how fast rabbits breed! With a constant predictable increase vastly larger than humanities in a population with significantly shorter generations, in even a couple of million years every other animal in any climate where rabbits could live would be walking on bunnies.

Yet, to play devil's advocate, the fact that the man was able to perform micro-surgery on the brain using the latest in OR technology is sort of evidence that how old one considers the age of the earth has no bearing on practical function in the 21st century.

Micro neurosurgery is practical function? I dare him to attend a normal dinner party and express his idea. He would be laughed out the door.

a one followed by 100 zeros; that is

10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000.

Lol. This is why creationists should always be supervised, they're prone to hurting themselves with both scissors and calculators.

So that leaves who in the Republican party? Me?

What's Michelle Bachman up to these days?

Very interesting never heard anyone take that position- I like it. And that is very conservative numbers. Back in the day they tried to pop out as many children as possible cause that meant more workers around the house.

And sad to hear Carson leave. He's the only one I really liked out of them all.

If knowing the correct age of the earth is such a big deal, why aren't the lives of those who get the answer wrong somehow negatively impacted? For 99.9 percent of the populace it's a trivial matter that has no connection to day to day conduct or success. Many religious beliefs fall into this category.

Excellent rebuttal!

At least he gets their imaginary skin color right.

And he's a doctor, and polite. There. That sums up pretty much everything positive I can think to say about him.

He also seems to be the dumbest smart guy on earth.

Of course it doesn't (if it doesn't align with your billion-year, multi-verse nonsense).

Have you ever heard of the Black Death? It killed 60% of Europe. How about the Spanish Flu? Those are just 2 easy examples of why your claim that there should be x amount of humans around is bullshit.

With all the "progress" in race-relations electing an African-American President caused, pretty sure Carson winning would have led to a race-war.

But seriously, carson is a looney toon that is good at a single thing.. Like a carpenter.
