I didn't know anyone actually believed
that stuff, before I went to the USA for Uni.
You know, we love our dragons here,
but don't exactly expect to see a real one.
We observe the regressive anti- education,
anti intellectual culture of Afghanistan and
recognize the effect it has on the nation.
Such cannot be good for the future of America
either.
I’ll leave that question for readers to answer. I can not comment on the details of the CMI model, but I can give details of my own model where we go from eight people to 12 million people in 250 years:
- 48% of births are male, 52% are female
- The CMI model checks to see if a woman is married before allowing her to become pregnant. I don’t bother with that; I just assume that, in light of the people obeying Genesis 9:1 and Genesis 9:7, any woman who becomes widowed or divorced is married with someone else right away. There’s a reason men had multiple wives in ancient times: It allowed every woman a chance to become pregnant.
- All women between the ages of 14 and 40, if not pregnant, have an 8% chance of becoming pregnant every week.
- Every week a woman is pregnant, there is an 0.2% chance of her having a miscarriage, so roughly 8% of pregnancies have a chance of not coming to term.
- A woman gives birth 40 weeks after getting pregnant.
- There is a 5% chance of having twins, and a 0.05% chance of having triplets
- Any week, for every single man, woman, and child in the population, there is a 0.1% chance that person will die.
- To avoid inaccuracies that the CMI model has, which only updates the population once a year, the population is updated every week in the model.
- Every year has precisely 52 weeks.
At least the obnoxious Kent Hovind isn’t around any more after being arrested.
Can you send him to the Russians?Oh, if only it were true. Not only was he arrested, but convicted, jailed and freed. He makes videos regularly on YouTube. I will not aid and abet subjection of any innocent (or guilty) persons to his content.

Science breeds hostility, doesn't it?I think it would be cheaper to put him on a raft and push it toward Cuba. He'd not like that plenty well enough.
I asked about the CMI model and reasonableness of *its* assumptions, not your model.
Though the assumptions about female fecundity seems wildly off. I'm not sure how you can justify those assumptions.
I prefer, you reap what you sow.Science breeds hostility, doesn't it?
So would I, but we sow wheat and reap tares.I prefer, you reap what you sow.

And his son, please (Eric).
Did Kent send seven astronauts to aitch, despite warnings to the contrary?No, Kent is a bad person.
Did Kent send seven astronauts to aitch, despite warnings to the contrary?
Did Kent make fun of a woman who demanded further tests on a prenatal wonder drug?
Did Kent rig a vote -- (or participate in a rigged vote) -- to get his agenda through the system?
Was Kent prosecuted for telling a community of commoners it was safe to go back to their homes?
Would Kent -- or even YOU -- take a joy ride in an airship filled with hydrogen?
Did Kent equip an ocean liner with only half the amount of life boats required in case of an emergency?
Just so you know, Heaven starts with aitch as well.Why do you assume the Challenger 7 are in Hell? Is it because they dared pierce the firmament?
Just so you know, Heaven starts with aitch as well.
I don't go around saying everyone went to Heaven, and I don't go around saying everyone went to Hell.Is that why you bowdlerized it? Because you don't want to use the infamous H-word "heaven"? I don't buy it.
It would take about 1,100 years to reach today's population at the current 2% population increase rate of today from 6 people.
I don't go around saying everyone went to Heaven, and I don't go around saying everyone went to Hell.
I'm not the Judge.
What???Not going to actually answer are ya?
Why did you use a bowdlerized version if you meant "heaven" rather than "hell"?
You always bowdlerized it as "aitch" when you clearly want to judge that someone is hellbound without saying it quite as explicitly. Because of this I was surprised that the *victims* of the engineering and management failures in the Challenger launch were singled out for such a severe Judgement. (Though I think it is meaningless it *clearly* means something to you.)
What???
Abraham went to aitch, Moses went to aitch, Paul went to aitch, I'm going to aitch, etc.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
