Hey,
I myself am an atheist, skeptic, and follower of science.
You might question why i'm on this forum, and rightly so, but if truth be told i'm here to find answers to some questions.
I'll ask more questions no doubt but here are a few to start it off.
1) Why do you believe in a theory with no scientific evidence, or no valid evidence at all for that matter?
2) How do you explain how we have almost 7 billion people in only 6/10 thousand years? the numbers DO NOT add up.
And thanks for any replies!
Estimated World population in millions.
The number on left is the date. The number on left is population.

2005 6,454 (2005 , 4 years ago. And had about 6.454 billion people.
That is the wikipedia estimate of the population during each few years.
What do we know about this chart?
1.The population stops at 1750 , which leaves the rest up for estimate.
2. The people who made this chart put 70,000 bc as a GOAL date.
In other words , 70,000 BC must be the age of human birth , because scientists tell us that humans evolved from a sort of ape at that time.
Well I have some good news for you.
Their estimate is completely wrong.
For one , they set a goal that they must fulfill , a fantasy goal.
What they should have done , was gone by what the rate goes by.
First it goes:
1950 - 1900 - 1850 - 1800 - 1750 - 1000 - 1 .
Am I missing something here?
Did anybody else notice that they skipped a whole millennium ?
The population rate is constant , going at a 3 - 1/3 rate .
And the year rate was constant going at a -50 years velocity.
But then the equation Subtracts 1,000 years , without a single change in population rate.
Something is definitely wrong with wikipedia's chart.
So I did the liberty of making my own.
I didn't set the fantasy goal as 70,000 bc like them guys did , or I didn't set it as 3,000 years ago.
I didn't set a goal. You aren't supposed to set a goal.
The idea is to find the date using a constant rate.

2005 6,454 (2005 , 4 years ago. And had about 6.454 billion people.
My fix is better.
And as you can see , it matches with the rate.
I didn't put 3,000 BC or 70,000 BC as a goal , or I didn't fake the numbers.
I went a long the path like I was supposed to , and I came up with the date 2,100 BC , which is near the date that Noah landed the ark , at the supposed time that the population started.
You can even check the numbers.
It's completely 100% correct.
Less than 1,000,000 people 4,100 years ago .
The population boom happened around the year 1900 on the Creation calendar.
The flood happened around 1656 After creation.
It's amazing how close those 2 dates are , considering it's just an estimate.
