THE EVOLUTION OF MAN SCIENTIFICALLY DISPROVED

[Fraught]

We shall present these arguments more in detail. The arguments

immediately following, especially the first eight, show the unity of

the human race in the days of Noah, and thus present insuperable

objections to evolution, and confirm the story of man's creation and

his destruction by the flood. The following is the first of fifty

i hadn't ran across this argument before; i found it interesting enough to share (i hope you do too, especially you math lovers); i look forward to the input of those who have looked into this before.

1. THE POPULATION OF THE WORLD

The population of the world, based upon the Berlin census reports of

1922, was found to be 1,804,187,000. The human race must double

itself 30.75 times to make this number. This result may be

approximately ascertained by the following computation:--

At the beginning of the first period of doubling there would just be

two human beings; the second, 4; the third, 8; the fourth, 16; the

tenth, 1024; the twentieth, 1,048,576, the thirtieth, 1,073,741,824;

and the thirty-first, 2,147,483,648. In other words, if we raise two

to the thirtieth power, we have 1,073,741,824; or to the thirty-first

power, 2,147,483,648. Therefore, it is evident even to the school boy,

that, to have the present population of the globe, the net population

must be doubled more than thirty times and less than thirty-one

times. By logarithms, we find it to be 30.75 times. After all

allowances are made for natural deaths, wars, catastrophes, and losses

of all kinds, if the human race would double its numbers 30.75 times,

we would have the present population of the globe.

Now, according to the chronology of Hales, based on the Septuagint

text, 5077 years have elapsed since the flood, and 5177 years since

the ancestors of mankind numbered only two, Noah and his wife. By

dividing 5177 by 30.75, we find it requires an average of 168.3 years

for the human race to double its numbers, in order to make the present

population. This is a reasonable average length of time.

Moreover, it is singularly confirmed by the number of Jews, or

descendants of Jacob. According to Hales, 3850 years have passed since

the marriage of Jacob. By the same method of calculation as above, the

Jews, who, according to the Jewish yearbook for 1922, number

15,393,815, must have doubled their numbers 23.8758 times, or once

every 161.251 years. The whole human race, therefore, on an average

has doubled its numbers every 168.3 years; and the Jews, every 161.251

years. What a marvelous agreement! We would not expect the figures to

be exactly the same nor be greatly surprised if one period were twice

the other. But their correspondence singularly corroborates the age of

the human race and of the Jewish people, as gleaned from the word of

God by the most proficient chronologists. If the human race is

2,000,000 years old, the period of doubling would be 65,040 years, or

402 times that of the Jews, which, of course, is unthinkable.

While the period of doubling may vary slightly in different ages, yet

there are few things so stable and certain as general average, where

large numbers and many years are considered, as in the present

case. No life insurance company, acting on general average statistics,

ever failed on that account. The Jews and the whole human race have

lived together the same thirty-eight centuries with very little

intermarriage, and are affected by similar advantages and

disadvantages, making the comparison remarkably fair.

Also, the 25,000,000 descendants of Abraham must have doubled their

numbers every 162.275 years, during the 3,988 years since the birth of

his son Ishmael. These periods of doubling which tally so closely,

168.3 years for the whole race, 161.251 for the Jews, and 162.275

years for the descendants of Abraham, cannot be a mere coincidence,

but are a demonstration against the great age of man required by

evolution, and in favor of the 5,177 years since Noah. None of the

other various chronologies would make any material difference in these

calculations. The correspondence of these figures, 168.3, 161.251 and

162.275 is so remarkable that it must bring the conviction to every

serious student that the flood destroyed mankind and Noah became the

head of the race.

Now the evolutionists claim that the human race is 2,000,000 years

old. There is no good reason for believing that, during all these

years the developing dominant species would not increase as rapidly as

the Jews, or the human race in historic times, especially since the

restraints of civilization and marriage did not exist. But let us

generously suppose that these remote ancestors, beginning with one

pair, doubled their numbers in 1612.51 years, one-tenth as rapidly as

the Jews, or 1240 times in 2,000,000 years. If we raise 2 to the

1240th power, the result is 18,932,139,737,991 with 360 figures

following. The population of the world, therefore, would have been

18,932,139,737,991 decillion, decillion, decillion, decillion,

decillion, decillion, decillion, decillion, decillion, decillion; or

18,932,139,737,991 vigintillion, vigintillion, vigintillion,

vigintillion, vigintillion, vigintillion.

Or, let us suppose that man, the dominant species, originated from a

single pair, only 100,000 years ago, the shortest period suggested by

any evolutionist (and much too short for evolution) and that the

population doubled in 1612.51 years, one-tenth the Jewish rate of net

increase, a most generous estimate. The present population of the

globe should be 4,660,210,253,138,204,300 or 2,527,570,733 for every

man, woman and child! In these calculations, we have made greater

allowances than any self-respecting evolutionist could ask without

blushing. And yet withal, it is as clear as the light of day that the

ancestors of man could not possibly have lived 2,000,000 or 1,000,000

or 100,000 years ago, or even 10,000 years ago; for if the population

had increased at the Jewish rate for 10,000 years, it would be more

than two billion times as great as it is. No guess that ever was made,

or ever can be made, much in excess of 5177 years, can possibly stand

as the age of man. The evolutionist cannot sidestep this argument by a

new guess. Q. E. D.

All these computations have been made upon the supposition that the

human race sprang from one pair. If from many in the distant past, as

the evolutionists assert, these bewildering figures must be enormously

increased.

Yet we are gravely told that evolution is "science". It is the wildest

guess ever made to support an impossible theory.

That their guesses can not possibly be correct, is proven also by

approaching the subject from another angle. If the human race is

2,000,000 years old, and must double its numbers 30.75 times to make

the present population, it is plain that each period for doubling

would be 65,040 years, since {2,000,000/30.75} = 65,040. At that rate,

there would be fewer than four Jews! If we suppose the race to have

sprung from one pair 100,000 years ago, it would take 3252 years to

double the population. At this rate, there would be five Jews!

Do we need any other demonstration that the evolution of man is an

absurdity and an impossibility? If the evolutionists endeavor to show

that man _may_ have descended from the brute, the population of

the world conclusively shows that MAN CERTAINLY DID NOT DESCEND FROM

THE BRUTE. If they ever succeed in showing that all species of animals

_may_ have been derived from one primordial germ, it is

impossible that man so came. He was created as the Bible declares, by

the Almighty Power of God.

The testimony of all the experts in the famous Scopes trial in

Tennessee (who escaped cross-examination) was to the effect that

evolution was in harmony with _some_ facts and therefore

_possibly true_. The above mathematical calculations prove that

the evolution of man was certainly not true. They fail to make their

case even if we grant their claims. These figures prove the Bible

story, and scrap every guess of the great age and the brute origin of

man. It will be observed that the above calculations point to the

unity of the race in the days of Noah, 5177 years ago, rather than in

the days of Adam 7333 years ago, according to Hales' chronology. If

the race increased at the Jewish rate, not over 16,384 perished by the

Flood, fewer than by many a modern catastrophe. This most merciful

providence of God started the race anew with a righteous head.

Now, if there had been no flood to destroy the human race, then the

descendants of Adam, in the 7333 years, would have been 16,384 times

the 1,804,187,000, or 29,559,799,808,000; or computed at the Jewish

rate of net increase for 7333 years since Adam, the population would

have been still greater, or 35,184,372,088,832. These calculations are

in perfect accord with the Scripture story of the special creation of

man, and the destruction of the race by a flood. Had it not been for

the flood, the earth could not have sustained the descendants of

Adam. Is not this a demonstration, decisive and final?

Thank you for posting this. It's a great deal for my old brain to gather in but I'm going to print it for further study.

I was told once by a learned person, that research(science) has a failing: "if looked for hard enough, you will always find what you are looking for".

[Fraught]

Is not this a demonstration, decisive and final?

Nice try, but the answer is an emphatic no!

Let's try reality: Here are the population figures for the UK for the last 2,000 years. The doubling every 168 years looks pretty good in the 19th/20th century, given the advancements in medicine and public health. Let's take the first accurate figure, for the 1801 census, of 8,306,000 people. Let's go back, 168 years at a time, and see how far back we get:

1801: 8,306,000

1633: 4,135,000

1465: 2,076,500

1297: 1,038,250

1129: 519,125 Half of the actual!

961: 259,563

793: 129,781

624: 64,891

457: 32,445

289: 16,222

121: 8111

47BC: 4055 No wonder the Romans had no trouble invading Britain, there were only 4,000 of us to defend it!

215BC: 2027

383BC: 1013

551BC: 506

719BC: 253

887BC: 126

1055BC: 63

1223BC: 31

1391BC: 15

1559BC: 7

1727BC: 3

1895BC: 2

So this place built itself. ...

Or maybe the mathematics is completely irrelevant, because it's based on the wrong assumption: that populations always grow.

you sure got a lot of time on your hands! anyway, i liked the article but it sure was long so i only excerpted from it; i found it interesting but of course if you don't, that's okay. as they say 'it's all good'. i'll try to get to your link later.

I love Maths, but as I read it, there are many questions. The original article has a lot of unproven assumptions (eg. how was factoring of natural catastophes done was not mentioned, validity of Hales' chronology, why was rate of growth constant, etc). Nobody is going to convinced about it.
