According to the Bible, the human population was restarted at the Flood with just 8 people
and that was about 4,500 years ago. So do we see evidence of that?
Absolutely. We can start by looking at population growth, a fairly simple thing. The current
growth rate is 1.1% per year. So that means for every 100 million people, 1.1 million
are added every year. You only need about half a percent to get to 7 billion people,
the current population, beginning at the Flood about 4,500 years ago. So it works out just perfectly.
So here's another challenge for evolutionists. If humans began 1 million years ago, as evolution
says, with a growth rate of only 0.01, there would be 10 to the 43 people today. That's
a one with 43 zeros behind it. So the evolutionary history is way, way off here and biblical
history gives the right dates.
