We can model this mathematically.
N = N0 * 2^t/T
where N0 is the initial population of 2.
t is the number of years passed.
T is your claim of the population doubling every 200 y.
We can merge N0 and the 2^x part into
N = 2^(1 + t/T)
8 billion = 2^(1 + 6379.47057079 / 200)
and therefore, the 2 initial people existed 6379.47 y ago.
-------------------------------------------
{
N = 2^(1 + 2079.47/200)
= 2700 people in the year 2300 (Noah’s time) (If we use a base of 0, it is the year 2079.47)
}
Also, I think you want to believe that Noah’s flood is a fact and so, you probably believe it took place around 2300 BCE (4300 y ago)
Doing the math where T = 200 y:
N = 8 * 2^t/T
N = 8 * 2^4300/200 = 23.7 million
so, according to the equation, today’s world population should be 23.7 million. That’s wrong, so let’s correct it.
I think you need to reduce that 200 y doubling thing.
Doing the math:
8 billion = 8 * 2^(4300/T)
Solving for T
T = 144 y
In other words, the population doubles every 144 y.
Why 100,000 BCE?
Do you believe that suddenly, there were 2 humans 100,000 y ago?
This is something that I would like you to think about.

How do we resolve this dilemma/paradox, from within the evolutionary paradigm?
Thoughts and comments welcome.
