Two people reproduced 7 billion people.

Not sure I've ever heard someone claim that the biblical Genesis story claims ownership to all humans on earth today (?) Does this debate come up I've never heard it put quite this way before.

According to the genesis story, god made adam and eve and they populated the world. That seems like a pretty clear-cut claim of ownership of the world population.

However, you have to remember that god wiped everyone out during the flood so he had to start all over again, only this time with eight people, including 600+ year old moses.

My question is, who would want to sleep with a 600 year old man?

religion is full of perverts so that wouldn't be so hard

Open excel
Type 6 in a cell (Noah's 3 sons and their wives)
Make the cell below it equal to 1.5 times the first cell (i.e. each couple had three surviving children)
Take this second cell and autofill down
You get to 7 billion really fast

Ahh I see what you're getting at. I was looking at it differently - allowing, I think, for much time to pass and reproduction allowed.
Eh - no biggie.
And as for who'd want to sleep with a 600 yr old man (?) There's more than one problem with that. LOL
Let's tackle the 600 yr old man part first and how he manages a fuck secondly - eh?
Yeah............... right. I don't think so.

And on top of that, life expectancy back than was much lower.
Life expectancy variation over time.
And all of the things that killed people back then that most people (who aren't in the third world) don't have to deal with now.
Well, except for those biblical freaks of nature (900 year Adam, 600 year old Noah). Doesn't anyone think that 600 year old Noah is weird enough (who is a Christian)?

Are you for real?

Not only do people die, but certain people are infertile, meaning their lineages stop dead. God also has this amazing habit of just fucking murdering everyone he can lay his hands on whenever he likes, so his bodycount alone would be actively working against this.

But hey, I'll keep an open mind: where can I meet Noah, then?

You're assuming the women have a choice. According to the bible, they do not.

(who is a Christian)?

Oh, I am sure we will hear from him soon enough.

Two words eople die.

Six words: each line is a separate generation.

For example, the second line is nine. That's 3+3+3, the three surviving children of each of the three initial couples. The parents are not included in that number. We're accounting for death.

Three children per couple seems reasonable, but let's lower it. Set the growth to just 10%. Now you hit 7 billion in the 293rd generation. If a generation is 20 years, that's 5,860 years, and we're not even building in the effect of the early long life spans.

It just doesn't take that long.

Yes! (raises hand)
I think when we want to look at who wants to have sex with a 600 yr old man that there's More than ONE problem with that.......
(1) 600 yrs old? (2) sex?
I can't get past the first part myself.

Are you taking into account divine murder, infertility, disease and plagues, death in infancy and childhood (kind of a big deal in the past!) the limited life expectancy before the modern era, war, and the fact that some people just don't want to have kids? Not to mention homosexuality, or the fact that people just don't pair up in neat little rows like you're expecting, nor do they spit out the requisite number of kids?

Or hey, how about the crazy fact that all of this still leads back to an incestuous gangbang between apparent immortals six thousand years ago? That not striking anyone as a bit impossible?
