Greatest book of all time

Yes. I literally and actually believe that the hundreds of millions of Jew and Arabs around the world sprang from one person 4000 years ago. Call me back whenever you've had a reality check.

It is mathematically feasible. Actually, no - it's mathematically likely.

There are people who are alive today who can look upon hundreds of their own descendants (children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc). And that's within an 80-year-period or so.

Population growth is exponential.

Of course, I wouldn't expect you to understand that.
 
Watermark: Yeah I hate Jews
Watermark: Hitler gawt it right
Watermark: 6 million fewer Jews made the world 6 million times better.
Watermark: I wish Ninjas only killed Jews

Is this some piss poor attempt to justify the idiocy of your belief that the world is four thousand years old or so?

Human population growth has only been exponential within the past two-hundred years, with the introduction of oil and antibiotics. Therefore, STFU. Abraham would have sprang a hundred or so people in four generations, yeah, if most of them didn't die, like people did in the old days.

Oh you hurt my feelings Thorn.

Population has always grown exponentially, with a few exceptions (i.e. the black plague). Only the rate has increased. In the time of Christ, there were approximately 100 million people on Earth. Probably fewer than ten million of that number were Semites. That is a small number considering the time frame (about 2,500 years), wouldn't you agree? With modern medicine, that number would be far greater.

If you honestly think it's impossible, you're a fool.

Population growth has grown at most linearly until modern modicine.

1/3rd of the worlds people from one of those one-hundred million. Yeah, I'm the fool.

:rolleyes:
