Here goes:
Here's a factor that neither Morris or anyone that I'm aware of have considered.
According to the Biblical record, living things, including humans lived considerably longer before the flood when there was a totally different atmosphere and climate.
No evidence
Noah lived close to 900 years, if I recall correctly. His sons lived four & five hundred plus. Their descendants lives gradually shorter lives all the way down to Moses who lived 120 years etc.
No evidence
During these years each man, some, if not most, had multiple wives, bearing large relatively long living families, according to the Biblical record. The net effect on population would be a trickling down of the averages from higher to lower.
Possible but again, no evidence
Then too, it was not uncommon for 20,000 to 40,000 men dying in one battle or one siege later on down in time.
As in where?
At some point in time, likely the averages bottomed out to beginning to rise up to the present time.
Conjecture
Now let's consider the evolutionist bunny blunder.
It should be assumed that any creature capable of reproduction has a sexual drive toward reproduction. This drive is a necessary component of reproduction. Otherwise, t'aint agona happen.
So?
Therefore the 1,000,000ers are blundering their way into the low calculations. Realistically, if there's reproduction, there's gotta be the sex drive. You can't just blindly alleged that it took hundreds of thousands of years for the early to relatively early populations to double. In fact, likely they more or less functioned more like a rabbitry than an ordered family as it has been historically so long as records have been kept.
Evidence please.
We know how fast rabbitries propagate, hopping about from bunny to bunny, impregnating or being impregnated. (it reminds me of the depravity we are experiencing in these end times and how the age old family unit is disintegrating.
Until the food runs out.
Bottom line: In spite of the discrepancies and unknowns to each hypothesis, the Biblical model is by far the more logical and likely the more realistic model.
No evidence vs partial evidence, I'd go with partial evidence.
