Re: Here is some evidence for you
It's just what the natural selection theory for the origin of the Human body comes up with,
We need to see the formulas, the justifications for the formulas, and the numbers you put into the formulas.
Can't any Mathematician bother doing any Math research.
So let me apply your mathematical research.
2+2=4, therefore there are only 4 bacteria in the world.

Re: A belief named Natural selection theory for the origin of the Human body
Taq, the justification for the formula: This formula is presented as a possibility based on the statement that families of Humans would have been multiplying for over 150 thousand years.
You did not present a formula. Please write out the formula that you are using.
because it requires one to believe that when Earth's population was at 10,000 inhabitants that it would have taken over 55 thousand years to reach 1 million.
Human populations can go from 1 million to 10,000 in a single year. Millions of people died during outbreaks of the bubonic plague, not to mention the 10's of millions of people that died during the influenza pandemic of 1917. Your assumptions have no basis in fact.

Re: A belief named Natural selection theory for the origin of the Human body
Something that occurs often and constantly indeed: Human population has never stopped growing.
This is only a very recent phenomenon. There is every reason to suspect that once humans spread to a new geographic area that their numbers stabilized quite quickly. Only with the advent of the industrial revolution did we see massive increases in human population sizes. The human population growth was in the negative in 1917. There is every reason to suspect that these dips in human population were even more common in the absence of modern medicine and agricultural techniques. If the modern famines in Africa had occurred 2,000 years ago what would have been the result? Massive loss of life orders of magnitude higher than what we are seeing right now.
What we have are regional disasters happening on a regular basis all across the globe. None of this is factored into your argument.

Re: Human population on a global scale never stopped growing
the authors of the same theory, based on the above info, should bring up what’s the approximate number of population of Humans that would have multiplied 70 thousand years ago, but they have presented no numbers at all for two reasons:
-
I — because they were not asked nor inquired to do so;
II — they would not do it anyway because it would be the same as to produce proof against themselves.
Disprove what, exactly, and how?
Therefore, it is not incoherent to state that the authors of such theory for the origin of the Human body would never admit that the Human population on a global scale never stopped growing,
It stopped growing at least two times that I am aware of: during the Black Death and in 1917 during the influenza pandemic.
Do you have anything to suggest that occurences like these did not occur in the past?
No matter what approximate numbers are brought up, such theory for the origin of the Human body will still require a strong belief that when Earth's population was at 10,000 inhabitants that it would have taken over 55 thousand years to reach 1 million.
If every couple had 4 children on average it would only take a few hundred years. By my math it would only take about 7 generations or 7*30 = 210 years if the generation time was 30 years.

Re: Human population on a global scale never stopped growing
When stating that Human populations can go from 1 million to 10,000 in a single year, the criteria that the representants of the Natural selection theory for the origin of the Human body have often presented is a belief, saying: let’s all consider (or believe) that something which very rarely happens would often occur during over 55 thousand years, that would be the believed reason why, when Earth's population was at 10,000 inhabitants, it would have taken over 55 thousand years to reach 1 million.
You are posting gibberish.
You have yet to show any evidence that the human population had to be 10,000 at any point in history. Until you show us this evidence you are making empty claims.

Re: Human population on a global scale never stopped growing
I don't have to, precisely because I never said that it had to be 10,000 at any point in history
Now that we have that established, would you also agree that the human population did not have to be continuously growing at all times in the last 100,000 years?
