totally unwarranted assumptions, and the implications of
population equations formulated by creationists are ridiculous.
Milne has shown just how ridiculous by calculating the 2500 BCE
population, and so forth, but perhaps it would be useful to look
at some more implications of the population growth argument.  In
Scientific Creationism, Morris introduces the population
equation, 2cn, in which 2c is the average number of children per
family and n is the number of forty-year generations since the
flood (four thousand years ago). He equates this equation with

generations, and then calculates
