"Even Mr. Malthus could point out that no population can exceed its ability to feed itself. "

Yeah but evolutionists would have us believe that man was making tools 200,000 years ago. To believe they couldn't find enough food is not very plausible. They would have dominated the food chain.

If you start with 6 people and double them every 100 years, it takes 28 centuries to reach a billion people.

Population growth has accelerated in the last couple of centuries, but to get the ages evolution requires, man would have had to have remained at very small numbers for a very very very long time. It's not believable.

Thank you Danny. More elegant than I could have been.

something tells me we will be overrun with rats within a few centuries ... or will it be rabbits?

Look at your own graph.

Hunter-gatherers need a very large area, per person, to get enough food from a given territory.

When you introduce agriculture, the carrying capacity per square mile goes up significantly. It goes up further when you domesticate oxen and horses to pull the plow.

When you introduce pesticides to kill insects, and herbicides to kill weeds, your crop yield goes up still further.

It is only in modern times that we've gotten the agricultural technology to enable feeding 6 billion people.

what’s interesting about the population graph to me is in 500 B.C. the population of the world was about 50 million or less. And at that time, Cyrus the Great’s empire had about 30 million, so 60% of the world’s population. wow!
