I'll be posting lines of evidence against a young earth. The first I don't think anyone has noticed before, the long lived Greenland Shark. It reaches maturity at a staggering 150 years of age and has a gestation period of at least 8 years. If more than 38 generations existed, the Earth could not be 6,000 years old. Based on the population, more than 38 generations is all but guaranteed.

I suspect the OP is a drive-by.Hi Jackson,
Everything what Yttrium said.
Goddidit, and otherwise Falldidiit or Floodidit.
Too much generations of the Greenland Shark. Then the Fall slowed their gestation somehow and before the Fall you had with God's blessing a generation every other day. Or something.

Some playwright or other is in aitch.As some playwright or other said.
"What a tangled web we weave...."
Because he died in 1832, and everyone who dies goes to one aitch or the other.Why would you make that assertion?
How long do you think Egyptian birthing took? This passage simply says that Hebrew women had very short labour. Maybe labour for Hebrew women was a few hours shorter than for Egyptian women. You'd need more than that to get the sort of super-reproduction you are claiming.And if that blessing came in the form of fecundity, then 38 generations would be no problem to explain.
Note here, where God did this very thing with the Hebrews in Egypt:
Exodus 1:19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them.
Exodus 1:20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
Exodus 1:7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.How long do you think Egyptian birthing took?

You didn't address my point - the passage you quoted does not support your assertion about rates of reproduction.Exodus 1:7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.
Thats a belief, not a fact.Because he died in 1832, and everyone who dies goes to one aitch or the other.
Beliving stories instead of reality is a losing proposition.Hi, Jackson! Nice to meet you! Welcome to CF!
Genesis 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
Unless it is a hybrid or something, the Greenland Shark was no exception to God's blessing.
And if that blessing came in the form of fecundity, then 38 generations would be no problem to explain.

How should I know what the rate of reproduction was?You didn't address my point - the passage you quoted does not support your assertion about rates of reproduction.
Which came first, in your opinion? Heaven and Hell ... or the belief in Heaven and Hell?Thats a belief, not a fact.

Philippians 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,Beliving stories instead of reality is a losing proposition.
