Can you expound on this topic or link to articles of interest? This line of questioning sounds interesting.

The same creationists who keep insisting "it's only a theory" don't ever extend such "logic" to other scientific theories. If they were intellectually consistent, they should take issue with such theories as gravitation. Or germ theory, for that matter.

But they never do. Wonder why?

I would like to see an evolutionist paper explaining current global population density on the earth if man has lived/evolved for millions of years.

I'm not sure I really understand what you're driving at.

Are you suggesting that current global population density somehow indicates that the earth isn't millions of years old? As in there should be more humans were that the case? If so, you're going to need to provide some math to demonstrate it. That's a new one.

Part of what is confusing me is the terminology. Gravitational law/theory in what way were you asking the question concerning it, I want to understand your question further.

The extrapolation of population density, or interpolation if you are going backwards, has seemed very interesting to me in the evo/id sense. If standard population growth rate of the world is say 2% per year, and that is offset by death, plague, famine, catastrophy, etc. by say 1.5% then a mean average of population growth could be assumed (scary word, I know) to be one half percent per year.

This in context to the timelines of either evolutionary or ID theory would be an interesting topic, at least to me. That is why i asked about it. I hadn't seen it pop up on a any of the threads.

Thanks for the reply.
