You are creating a Strawman. Stripe didn't claim the rate is constant.It looks to me like Stripe failed to consider on very obvious consideration: the doubling rate is not a constant.
good postYou are creating a Strawman. Stripe didn't claim the rate is constant.
What Stripes thread did show is that today's population is consistent with the Biblical account and time frame.
Did he? Lets look at what Stripe actually said in his OPYou are creating a Strawman. Stripe didn't claim the rate is constant.
What Stripes thread did show is that today's population is consistent with the Biblical account and time frame.
Stripe did, in fact, assume the rate is constant through history.stripe said:The Darwinist believes that the population about 4,000 years ago was something like 7 million.
Today's population doubling period is thought to be 60 years.
Assuming the accuracy of those numbers over all history, there would be 2.93x1033 people on planet Earth.
The Earth is estimated to weigh about 6x1025 kilograms, or about the equivalent of 6x1023 sizable people.
Nope.....you are reading it wrong. He even clarified in additional posts that he did not say the rate was constant.Did he? Lets look at what Stripe actually said in his OP

What Stripes thread did show is that the earths current population is realistic using the Biblical account.
Your dishonesty is showing. It's obvious why you quote only part of the sentence. And it's obvious why you ignore subsequent posts where Stripe clarified.I see. So what happened in that Stripe made an unsupported assertion in his OP that the rate was " accurate over all history,"

Lying for yourself is one thing but lying for Stripe is just bizzare
Hahaaaaaa You made me burst out in laughter.2 days ago someone said I was worse than Hitler ... Now I'm compared to ISIS. :luigi:Not really. It's like declaring that you "belong" to ISIS, even when you don't have any real affiliation with them.
What a topsy-turvey world it is when a bit of pressure to learn about reality ends up pushing creationists' heads further into the sand, while the effect of Catholic education is to produce atheists at a higher rate than secular schools do.The Chronicle of Higher Education wrote:
As it stands, scientists’ blundering hostility toward creationism actually encourages creationist belief. By offering a stark division between religious faith and scientific belief, evolutionary scientists have pushed creationists away from embracing evolutionary ideas. And, by assuming that only ignorance could explain creationist beliefs, scientists have unwittingly fostered bitter resentment among the creationists, the very people with whom they should be hoping to connect

Hey Stuu...nice to have you back.In any case, good on you for highlighting the problem of intentional religious ignorance of science.
Stuart
Thanks!Hey Stuu...nice to have you back.
Do you think that I am committed to evolution as a philosophy? I'm not, and I don't know anyone who is. The idea of evolution by natural selection is brutal and not something to love, although there is a huge amount of elegance in Darwin's brilliantly simple explanation for the diversity of life on this planet, and on any other planet where there might be life.I think you are a bit confused. The article is not about faith against science. It is faith against faith. The article specifically is referring to science belief...IE evolutionism and creationism. Both faith systems examine the same set of evidences and then interpret according to your faith.
What eye witness testimony? Half of the biblical references to being able to see or hear your god say it's impossible.The evidence best fits the eye witness testimony in God's Word.
