If you spend enough time online you will inevitably come across religion. This leads to creationists. Creationists argue that humanity started from just 2 people. These being Adam and Eve.
This idea is ‘interesting’.
Creationist substitute the fable of Adam and Eve for evolution. Fundamentally skipping millennia or more of evolution and jumping straight to the naked ape.
This is the crux od much online debate. Often spirited debate.
If you know anything about populations, breeding and the complications that occur when the population is too ‘close’.
To show how problematic the idea of biblical life is we modelled the growth in simple charts. That is what happens each generation.
The population according tot he bible should explode. The number of children. The number of their children and so on. It just grows at a crazy rate.
Before long it more than the number of current humans alive let alone to ever live. This is a problem.
That same problem only gets worse as you try and make the model work. This is true even when you add in mortality. This only pushes the time until more human s exist than ever by a short way.
In short it doesn’t work.
