What number is song of songs?

Your math is not based on complete figures. In 3200BC Egypt had writing and soon after had a calender of 360 days. The writing shows Egypt had a large population from then to now. As they had a empire during the flood and procreated. You must take in this birth's in your acounting.

If we consider the Bibles genesis creation story, 4300yrs ago there were only 8 people on the planet. As Playnka has demonstrated, even with an extremely generous population growth there would only be around 100,000 people on the planet by the time the pyramid of Giza was built 1500yrs later. And that doesn't take into account, the civilisations in Mesopotamia, China, India and all the rest.
Originally posted by Proper KnobI thought I demonstrated that relatively small changes in average population growth rates can easily give extremely large or quite small numbers.

Which means I don't think this is the best way to attack creationism.
Originally posted by PalynkaMy intention wasn't to attack. Merely thinking aloud, with your helpful maths.

Originally posted by KazetNagorraI imagine that taking matches as random, as population grows, the prob of marrying first, second or third cousins decreases and will definitely dilute.
Maybe a more interesting and related question... if mankind consisted of 10 people 4300 years ago, what is the expected rate of genetic disease?
We all descend from the mitochondrial Eve anyway, right?
