Holy Koolaid Pretended Flood to Sodom Chronology Excludes a Sodom or Gomorrah of Half a Million People

Theoretic Demography Limits · Holy Koolaid Pretended Flood to Sodom Chronology Excludes a Sodom or Gomorrah of Half a Million People · Barnes and Haydock Have a Thing or Two in Common

Here is a little answer to his inept quote from Star Trek* and its hero Commander Spock. "Multiplying with an average litter of ten, producing a new generation every twelve hours ..."

I am not defending that Bab edh-Dhra is Sodom (or Gomorrah). I have other reasons against that, but Holy Koolaid's point was that eleven generations after the Flood 500 000 people in one place is simply impossible. Now, let's do some calculations.

Flood to end of Babel (aka birth of Peleg), 401 or 529 years. (101 years is wrong Bible text).

End of Babel to destruction of Sodom, one years before Isaac was born (nine months, actually), 2556 - 1916 BC = 640 years. (Same timespan with other LXX version, since the difference is in presence vs absence of II Cainan before Peleg). Let's add up:

401 + 640 = 1041 years
529 + 640 = 1169 years

The point with quoting Spock was, the population growth factor would be humanly impossible. In Africa, we have a demographic growth of 3 % a year, which is 1.03 raised to the number of years. Obviously, the population growth we do have observed anywhere is humanly possible. Let's suppose only this humanly possible population growth were the actual one ... would we get our half million?

1.03¹⁰⁴¹ = 23 096 752 368 116.477
1.03¹¹⁶⁹ = 1 015 583 602 870 594.1

It certainly seems we would. In fact, the sum would be more than we ever had on earth, more than earth can sustain, our present population on the globe would be 0.000 303 072 91 of it. Or 0.03 %.

However, Holy Koolaid is not doing present population growth in Africa. He is doing archaeologists' estimation of how fast the population grew at this time ... too bad if that is heavily influenced by their estimate of the time span, so it is 1000 slower than the population growth in Niger ... But he is for arguments' sake granting the population growth in Niger, while giving it a heavily dehumanising slant ... and arrives at 500 000 on the entire globe by destruction of Sodom.

With a slower growth (obviously a possible one) and even that's impossibly high result, I get Bab edh-Dhra totals at a very low portion of the overall population:

500 000 / 23 096 752 368 116.477 = 2.164 806 51 × 10⁻⁸
500 000 / 1 015 583 602 870 594.1 = 4.923 277 6 × 10⁻¹⁰

Obviously, earth had lots fewer people and the portion at Bab edh-Dhra would be a larger portion of it.

As he mentioned the tower of Babel, what could the population of earth have been when its building started, at shorter LXX chronology? I'd have Babel start 40 years earlier, so 401 - 40 = 361, eleven years after Noah died.

1.03³⁶¹ = 43 076 (skipping decimals).

If Babel was Göbekli Tepe, if the tower was a rocket, which would have very few actual direct builders, I think this would be, in forty years, enough for not only what we see as per already excavated, but even ... 813.173 meters diameter with half a sq km, if we look at what ground scans reveal below the ground.

Here is the video : https://youtu.be/dJv0OvFnVXU. He is also avoiding the already given information that I have other calibrations for the chronology .../HGL

PS, I was seriously tired and forgot to that 43 076 and the other ones are actually factors, to be multiplied with the original 8 after the Flood. So, 43 076*8 = 344 608, really sufficient for Göbekli Tepe, and the other numerals, the results for 3 % that long are anyway "off charts"./HGL
