This video segment is from "Beyond Is Genesis History? Vol 1 : Rocks & Fossils," the follow-up to our feature-length film where we explore the impact of the global Flood on the Earth. Check it out on our website:

Geologist Steve Austin takes us to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, where he explains how the global Flood of Noah's day is evidenced by an intercontinental erosion surface called the Great Unconformity and the thick layers of sand, shale, and limestone (called the Sauk Sequence) making up the canyon walls.
Dr. Austin is a field research geologist who has done research on six of the seven continents of the world. His research has taken him by helicopter into the crater on Mount St. Helens, by bush plane onto glaciers in Alaska, by raft through the Grand Canyon, on horseback into the high Sierra, by elevator into the world’s deepest coal mines, by SCUBA onto the Great Barrier Reef, by rail into Korean backcountry, by foot onto barren plateaus of southern Argentina, and by four-wheel drive into remote desert areas of Israel, Jordan and Saudi Arabia.

I highly doubt the murder of children (abortion) was commonplace in Noah's days.
You believe the bible.
Worldwide, the average growth rate today is 1.14%. However, smaller countries have growth rates as high as 5%.
Correct. That and many other reasons is why the growth rate back in the days of Noah was probably on the upper end of 5% and not lower, as it is today. So, plenty of time to build a healthy population in numbers.
I believe you're off your rocker.
Care to document your assertion?
From the article, of course. It is an assumption. Maybe more, maybe less, but probably more than the average growth rate of today. That is the article’s point.
The next important piece of information we need is the average growth rate during those 339 years. Of course, we have no hard data on that. Worldwide, the average growth rate today is 1.14%. However, smaller countries have growth rates as high as 5%. I think its fairly safe to assume that with such a small starting population (only 8 survivors of the flood), the growth rate was on the higher side. Remember that birth control was not quite in vogue then. So I think a 3.5% growth rate is a safe assumption.
I recommend you read the Book of Genesis, Chapter 5, before standing on your 5% growth rate.
And that would prove exactly what?
That your growth rate is far to low.
I agree with you. It could be much higher and probably was. The point of the article was that it was HIGHER than TODAY’S growth rate and there were plenty of people on the earth at the time of the Tower of Babel, AND THEREFORE, plenty of people to build the Tower of Babel, which was Eastforker’s question in post 37.
You're right...wonder what he wants his kids to study in 'collage'? I don't generally pick on folks for grammar or spelling errors (I make too many of my own) but when someone is imply the stupidity of posters with whom he disagrees he should at least make sure his insults are correctly spelled.
Because that's not how He chose to do it.
When you speak your own universe into existence you can wipe it out in any manner you wish.
