Creationists: can you explain post-Flood repopulation?

[Mr Strawberry]

Wrong again.

I'm asking if you think prostitution is the cure to:

1. Poor s_x education.
2. Poor economic conditions.

Hang on, you think sex education is what you would learn from a visit to a prostitute? Rewind a second. What was the sex education like at your school? I'm getting the impression that neither you nor dad actually know what sex education is.

 

[AV1611VET]

No, I don't know who you are. I can see that you blame reality on a cartoon bad guy though, and that isn't working out real well for you.

So are you saying you know Satan better than you know me?

If not, do you object if I herein refer to those who deny Satanic influence as "the Strawberry Effect"?

And if asked to explain it, I won't use my name, I'll simply say:

The Strawberry Effect can be summarized as:

"Christians I know, but who is Satan?"

 

[AV1611VET]

Hang on, you think sex education is what you would learn from a visit to a prostitute?

Well if you don't, then you must have had your eyes closed, eh?

Rewind a second.

Okay.

What was the sex education like at your school?

My mom wrote me a note and let me opt out, after I had to read (out loud) from a booklet that talked about womens' breasts.

I'm getting the impression that neither you nor dad actually know what sex education is.

Should I boast about it or complain?

Actually, it was you I said I didn't know, but whatever. If it makes you happy, AV1611VET.

 

[Mr Strawberry]

Sigh. Oh boy.

Okay.

It seems I was right. Oh dear.

 

[AV1611VET]

It seems I was right. Oh dear.

Well ... lookey here:

Britain still has the highest rate of teenage pregnancy in Western Europe despite being one of the world's biggest users of contraceptives.

SOURCE

It appears you have a Bible belt too, eh?

 

[Mr Strawberry]

Well ... lookey here:

Yes, highest in Europe, but still a lot less than half than that in the bible belt. About a third actually. And, of course, the rest of Europe has even lower rates. It would never occur to you though that the lowest rates are in countries that emphasise openness about sexual health information and services. But the correspondent lower abortion rates in teens might impress you.

 

[Golden Yak]

Hang on, you think sex education is what you would learn from a visit to a prostitute?

Presumably, prostitutes would receive sex education as part of their job training - you need to recognize what a customer is asking for, how much it will cost, etc.

Maybe they could offer an 'instructive session' for first timers - 'hands-on' education.

'Learn by doing.' 'Phys-ed.'

 

[AV1611VET]

Yes, highest in Europe, but still a lot less than half than that in the bible belt. About a third actually.

Is that because we didn't have a J. T. Ripper in our Bible belt to prevent solving your "education & economic" problem?

 

[Subduction Zone]

Why don't you guys harp on teaching kids how to drive, since so many teenagers die in traffic accidents?

Because far fewer kids die when they take driver's ed. The same applies to sex ed. States that emphasize "just say no" have higher teen pregnancy rates and more important to you guys teen abortion rates than states where a full course of education is given.

Education lowers the rate of accidents for both drivers and lovers.

This conversation is truly frightening and worrying both at the same time.

I can honestly say that I wish that was the reason.

Because Mr. Strawberry won't confirm if he believes that prostitution is the solution to our (and his) education & economic problem?

Sad.

Ok, so you start with three sons of Noah who can form 3 couples >

Roughly, in the first fifteen years, a baby or so a year, three couples can yield > at least 40

after year thirty, 20 couples from those forty babies in fifteen more years can each have at least ten babies > 200

after year fifty-five those 100 couples > 1,000

after year 70, 500 couples in fifteen years can each make ten babies > 5,000 babies

after year 85, 2,500 couples from those babies > 25,000

after year 100, 17,500 couples > 175,000

after year 115, 87,500 couples > 875,000

after year 130, 437,500 couples > 4,375,000

after year 145, 2,187,500 couples > 21,875,000

after year 160, 10,937,500 couples > 109,375,000

after year 175, their 54,687,500 > 546,875,000

after year 190, 273,437,000 couples > 2,734,370,000

This is by only about 200 years after Noah, with couples breeding about ten kids each over fifteen years for each couple.

Roughly, every fifteen years, like this, the population is five times as much as fifteen years ago; so I consider it would go like this >

year 205 > 10 million

year 220 > 50 million

year 235 > 250 million

year 250 > about a billion

year 265 > 5 billion

Didn't someone say we have about four hundred years or so? We're not at year 300 yet.

And this is with each couple having fifteen years to make ten babies, with no twins or octuplets

year 280 > 25 billion

year 295 > 125 billion

year 310 > 625 billion

year 325 > I think we have enough

Getting enough people is easy. Getting the right amount and frequency of genetic diversity (i.e. what we see in humans) is not.

I got donkey shows over in the physical and life sciences section and hookers over here in the creation and evolution section. Did I miss a memo or something? Is there a full moon driving everyone to the weird?

Just your usual science vs. theology debates.

Is there a full moon driving everyone to the weird?

I think people are getting tired of hearing Jesus walked on water.
