Two gives birth, their children give birth, their children's children give birth, their children's children's children gave birth, etc. etc. Years and years.
How is this a fallacy? I understand some atheists' points, but this one is ridiculous.
The fallacy is that it would not be possible for two people to repopulate the earth with 7 billion people in the short amount of time since the whole flood thing. (wait, didn't Noah have a total of 8 people on board?) Even if they were fucking like bunnies, it just isn't possible.
I have heard young earth creationists say that the number of people on earth right now fits the calculation for an Earth that is 6000-10000 years old. The problem with those calculations is that everyone would have to still be alive...
By the way, did you know that a rabbit can get pregnant while it is still pregnant? True story.
