My answer is all of you so far have said these people are a joke,but none of you have offered in anyway a counter claim
Sorry, I thought it would be blindingly obvious, even to you!
Let's look again at the piece I quoted:
If we were to conservatively say that a generation passed once every 25 years (and when was the last time a generation was 25 years long?), then in 100,000 years a total of 4,000 generations would occur. If the number of people on earth never exceeded 1,000,000 at any one time in the past, then in 100,000 years a total of 4,000,000,000 people would have lived, died and been buried somewhere on earth. This is an astronomical number.
When people are buried, whether or not their bodies are preserved, there are the artifacts left in the graves which identify them as human. Even if the body decomposes completely their jewelry, tools and vessels placed in the grave with them will survive.
Based upon evolutionary assumptions we should be able to dig straight down almost anywhere on earth and hit at least one grave from a prior generation. To date, however, even with all the money thrown into the search for them, we have only found about 300 'Neanderthal' skeletons. They have been found in caves from Spain to Syria to Israel.Without even beginning to analyse how realistic, or otherwise, his assumptions are, we can see immediately that he can't translate them into numbers properly and then can't interpret his (faulty) calculations properly either.
First he says: "If the number of people on earth
never exceeded 1,000,000". Then he concludes that "a total of 4,000,000,000 people would have lived, died and been buried somewhere on earth". What he's actually done is multiply his
maximum population estimate with the number of generations - the figure is the number of people who would have lived if the population had remained
static at exactly 1,000,000.
He then goes on to say what a big number this is - even though it is somewhat less than the current living population of the world (over 7,000,000,000). This might give you a clue as the how accurate his conclusion is. He says "Based upon evolutionary assumptions we should be able to dig straight down almost anywhere on earth and hit at least one grave from a prior generation". Really? Let's see. The land area of the Earth is about 500,000,000 km
2, that's 5x10
14 m
2. Now, assuming everyone since the dawn of humanity was buried and a grave is about 2m
2 (using his assumptions) 4,000,000,000 graves would take up a staggering 0.0016% of said area.
As I said, this is without even questioning his own, rather bizarre, assumptions.
