[quote:Anonymous Coward 1232279:MV8xNjgzMzI0XzI3ODE3MTIxXzExRDU1MkY4] [quote:Believer 3926723:MV8xNjgzMzI0XzI3ODE2NTU4Xzk4RkRCMzIy] And invade you don't like wiki A tight reading of the genealogy using the Masoretic Text of Genesis adds up to 1,656 years from Adam to Noah. (That is, there do no appear to be any gaps in the genealogy from Adam to Noah). 1656 years is more than sufficient time to completely fill up the earth with people. A conservative population growth calculation would place the population at the time of the flood as 7 billion people at least, perhaps it was even higher. The time period from Adam to Noah turns out to be about 2256 years using the LXX and other versions of the Hebrew Bible such as the Vorlage Text. http://ldolphin.org/flood.shtml [/quote] Sorry blind one... there were NO WHERE near 7Bn people during that mythical age, and there certainly wasn't a global flood. Not to mention that the 13 or so couples on that ARK would have never been able to produce the population of people today. The bible is, and has always been a failed lie to control the people. If you want to really really know God, just open your eyes. [/quote]
Original Message
I bye no means believe that one person can tell you when the world will end with precise dates/times. It is impossible for one to know. However, isn't this interesting?
Clip...The first of these is the acceptance that the flood was worldwide. This is made clear by the Biblical record repeatedly.
Secondly is the time frame from creation to the flood. A number of figures are available on this - even people like Newton and Keppler did their calculations and came up with similar time periods. The best known calculation is of course Ussher's time of 1656 years.
Thirdly, the rate of reproduction - using conservative figures of population growth based on the information provided in the Biblical record, then the figure arrived at would be around 7 Billion people.

The world couldn't handle 7billion then, nor can it now.
