Worldwide, the average growth rate today is 1.14%. However, smaller countries have growth rates as high as 5%.

I highly doubt the murder of children (abortion) was commonplace in Noah’s days.

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.

Care to document your assertion?

I recommend you read the Book of Genesis, Chapter 5, before standing on your 5% growth rate.
