The Evolution of Man Scientifically Disproved | Page 4

The unity of mankind is also conclusively shown by the fact that all races interbreed, the
most certain test of every species.
All these facts pointing to the unity of the race in the days of Noah and of Adam are
irreconcilable with the theory of evolution which denies that unity within the last two
million years.
We shall present these arguments more in detail. The arguments immediately following,
especially the first eight, show the unity of the human race in the days of Noah, and thus
present insuperable objections to evolution, and confirm the story of man's creation and
his destruction by the flood. The following is the first of fifty Arguments against the
evolution of man.

1. THE POPULATION OF THE WORLD
The population of the world, based upon the Berlin census reports of 1922, was found to
be 1,804,187,000. The human race must double itself 30.75 times to make this number.
This result may be approximately ascertained by the following computation:--
At the beginning of the first period of doubling there would just be two human beings;

the second, 4; the third, 8; the fourth, 16; the tenth, 1024; the twentieth, 1,048,576, the
thirtieth, 1,073,741,824; and the thirty-first, 2,147,483,648. In other words, if we raise
two to the thirtieth power, we have 1,073,741,824; or to the thirty-first power,
2,147,483,648. Therefore, it is evident even to the school boy, that, to have the present
population of the globe, the net population must be doubled more than thirty times and
less than thirty-one times. By logarithms, we find it to be 30.75 times. After all
allowances are made for natural deaths, wars, catastrophes, and losses of all kinds, if the
human race would double its numbers 30.75 times, we would have the present population
of the globe.
Now, according to the chronology of Hales, based on the Septuagint text, 5077 years
have elapsed since the flood, and 5177 years since the ancestors of mankind numbered
only two, Noah and his wife. By dividing 5177 by 30.75, we find it requires an average
of 168.3 years for the human race to double its numbers, in order to make the present
population. This is a reasonable average length of time.
Moreover, it is singularly confirmed by the number of Jews, or descendants of Jacob.
According to Hales, 3850 years have passed since the marriage of Jacob. By the same
method of calculation as above, the Jews, who, according to the Jewish yearbook for
1922, number 15,393,815, must have doubled their numbers 23.8758 times, or once every
161.251 years. The whole human race, therefore, on an average has doubled its numbers
every 168.3 years; and the Jews, every 161.251 years. What a marvelous agreement! We
would not expect the figures to be exactly the same nor be greatly surprised if one period
were twice the other. But their correspondence singularly corroborates the age of the
human race and of the Jewish people, as gleaned from the word of God by the most
proficient chronologists. If the human race is 2,000,000 years old, the period of doubling
would be 65,040 years, or 402 times that of the Jews, which, of course, is unthinkable.
While the period of doubling may vary slightly in different ages, yet there are few things
so stable and certain as general average, where large numbers and many years are
considered, as in the present case. No life insurance company, acting on general average
statistics, ever failed on that account. The Jews and the whole human race have lived
together the same thirty-eight centuries with very little intermarriage, and are affected by
similar advantages and disadvantages, making the comparison remarkably fair.
Also, the 25,000,000 descendants of Abraham must have doubled their numbers every
162.275 years, during the 3,988 years since the birth of his son Ishmael. These periods of
doubling which tally so closely, 168.3 years for the whole race, 161.251 for the Jews, and
162.275 years for the descendants of Abraham, cannot be a mere coincidence, but are a
demonstration against the great age of man required by evolution, and in favor of the
5,177 years since Noah. None of the other various chronologies would make any material
difference in these calculations. The correspondence of these figures, 168.3, 161.251 and
162.275 is so remarkable that it must bring the conviction to every serious student that
the flood destroyed mankind and Noah became the head of the race.
Now the evolutionists claim that the human race is 2,000,000 years old. There is no good
reason for believing that, during all these years the developing dominant species would
not increase as rapidly as the Jews, or the human race in historic times, especially since
the restraints of civilization and marriage did not exist. But let us generously suppose that
these remote
