You should try actually _reading_ a historybook... Yours ranks amongst
the most inane comments i've read in a long time. For one, Renaissance
means rebirth (to wit, that of the greek/roman classical world), and
then, the dawn of humanity lies in Africa, some 200.000 years ago.
Tjuus,
Kleuske.
The various estimates quoted in the Wikipedia article "World Population
Estimates" give around 400 million to 500 million in AD 1500. Just in
case that anybody would be tempted to accept the OP's unsupported
assertion.

That is wrong on just enough levels to make me think you are just
randomly stringing together words and phrases.

So, of the 400 - 500 million people estimated to have lived on Earth
in 1500, 6 million lived in FantasyLand. Where was this amusement

Historical estimates are that the world population was probably between 425
million and 540 million at 1500 A.D.
1500 AD was not the "dawn of humanity" by any definiton. And from what
I can see you are wrong on the population at the time.
More importantly, what is the point you are trying to make that has
any relevance to Talk.Origins?
If you are trying to extrapolate that there were only 2 people 6000
years ago, don't bother. It has been thoroughly refuted, and even many
creationists don't take it literally nowadays.

What with his e-mail address and general syntax, I suspect he may have a
highly personal definition of 'people.'
But... I enjoy hearing them explain how just a few thousand people
were enough for the Chinese civilization, the Egyptian Empire, The
Asserians, the Babylonians, the Celts, the, Incans...

Remember that in the book of Numbers, chapter 1, there are numbers
given for the fighting population of the Israelites at the time of
the Exodus: 603,550 males over the age of 20 (not counting the Levites).
That would mean something like maybe 2 million Israelites in 1500 BC.
Surely there must have been at least as many Egyptians. Add in another
1 million or so for the various tribes that the Israelites were to
meet in the Promised Land. There's 5 million just for that small area
of the Ancient Near East.
This is not a useful line of argument. Growing from 2 to 2 million
just requires 20 doublings, something easily done in 20 generations
of, say, 25 years for a total of 500 years. There is no problem
filling the earth with humans provided there are resources to support
the growth. Remember "Be fruitful and multiply"!

I'll take your word that there's all sorts of "evidence" in the
Bible. But it's kind of moot now that anti-evolution's star witness
(Michael Behe) at the creation/evolution trial of the century (KvD)
admitted that reading the Bible as a science book is silly, and agrees
that we have ancestors from millions or more years ago.
If an anti-evolutionist of any "kind" refuses to critically analyze
such contradictory conclusions and methodology with the same zeal as
they attack "Darwinism," then they are admitting that their are either
seriously confused or in on the scam.
He is the original goyischer kop.
And I think we will find that the troll (for such he is) is pretending
to define 'year' in a distinctly unorthodox way.

By "we", I assume you mean you and the voices in your head.

Good grief. I've gone and read some of your posts from other
newsgroups.
I usually have sympathy for the mentally ill, but you are entirely too
disagreeable. Still, it must be a sad life to be so ignorant and so
filled with hate.

No, no. Well, yes, he is a nebbish, but shlemiel is too nice. He's more
of a momser.
..which would be rather silly, because Renaissance means "rebirth".
Ignorant prat.

Jew bashing has been popular for 2000 years by groups with unsavoury
political agendas or the inability to fight conventional wars.
Which leaves the question, have Jewish people earned the right to use any
means possible to stop being bashed?
I was thinking mainly of the claim in the title of the thread, that
there were 6 million people on earth in 1500.
But also, I was thinking of the simple-minded argument that argues
from a constant exponential growth in population against an "old
earth". If the population increased a million-fold in 2500 years
(4004 BC to 1500 BC), then there would be trillions of people in
another 2500 years.
How many organisms do you think were on Earth 275 million years BC?
Please give us your best order-of-magnitude guess if you are unsure.
