So You Want To Believe In Evolution...
THEN WHERE'S ALL THE PEOPLE??
Bible believing Christians maintain that man was created in God’s image and
likeness, therefore it is difficult to understand how this could include a
transition from apes. In fact, the clear teaching of the Bible states that
man was created fully mature about six thousand years ago. (Genesis 1)
PEOPLE OFTEN ASK HOW THE 6000 YEARS IS DETERMINED.
No one Bible scripture states this and perhaps this is because God knew that
man has been known to attempt to explain away any one particular scripture.
The 6000 years is determined by adding the total chronological time span of
the Biblical patriarchs to the date of established historical events such as
the birth of Christ.
Some say that the genealogy of the patriarchs contain gaps. They claim that
generations might be missing because each descendent listed in Genesis may
not have been a son but rather a grandson or great grandson etc. This
possibility is irrelevant because the time span between these births is
mathematically fixed no matter how many generations may have been missing.
All the time lines of the stated genealogies link together to form an
accurate continuous chronology.
Several textual discrepancies have arisen between the Greek Septuagint and
the Hebrew Masoretic texts. These only amount to several hundred years
therefore, the 6000 years+ recorded history of man stands. There is no
rational way to stretch this figure to millions of years!
Evolutionists, including those who teach at many Christian colleges, believe
that man is simply a higher form of ape who evolved by chance. According to
this popular theory, the genus "Homo" has been evolving for about 2,500,000
years.

Now this hypothesis can be mathematically tested and compared with the
account of creation to establish which is more plausible. We need only
compare the quantity of physical remains of man found on the planet Earth
with the expected numbers which should remain as fossils or unfossilized
bones. After all, the evolutionists have assured us that fossils, in
general, have been preserved for hundreds of millions of years.
The equation for human population growth is:
P= poert
P = present human population
po = initial human population of 2 people
e = natural logarithm base (2.718)
r = annual growth rate
t = time in years
The current annual growth rate is 1.7%. However, examination of population
figures throughout recorded history, which takes into account plagues and
wars, indicate that the average growth rate is closer to .5%. Now let's be
extremely conservative and not even consider all the expected remains which
would have accumulated from Homo erectus and Homo habilis which supposedly
have been reproducing for several million years. We are also going to
severely limit the calculation to the expected number of graves which modern
man would have left, and then for ONLY 100,000 years instead of the 200,000
years proposed by many evolutionists. Going further, the population growth
rate will be reduced to .1%.
Using these extremely conservative numbers in the above equation yields the
Earth’s total population of Homo sapiens which would have lived and died :
5.3(10)43
This number is 5 with 43 zeros after it. This population is a whopping
incomprehensible,
astronomical number! Let me boil this down to the expected number of graves
(remains/fossils) per acre.
NUMBER OF ACRES ON THE EARTH
3.7(10)10
Each acre of ground should contain 1.44(10)33 bodies per acre
If the evolutionary scenario is even remotely true then:
Every time and every where a spade is put in the ground, it should come up
filled with modern human bones!
As a matter of fact, no matter how deep the excavation or how many miles you
probed the Earth with a test boring--you would come up with human remains.
Remember this does not even include the entire genus "Homo" whose remains
could not be contained in the entire globe of the Earth even if it were
hollow.
BIBLICAL SCENARIO:
We are now in a position to compare this unrealistic situation with the
clear teaching of the Bible.
Initial Population after the flood: 8 people
Growth rate : .428%
Time: 4750 years (since the Flood)
EXPECTED EARTH’S POPULATION:
5.38(10)9
As you can see, this figure agrees with the current population of our planet
(see graph). It is clear that the population growth figures are undeniably
in accord with the Biblical account of Noah’s flood as opposed to the utter
foolishness of evolution theory.
