Re:
the total number of "above water" acreage on the face of the Earth.
Did his numbers take into account all the acreages that are uninhabitable, both from man-made pollution as well as naturally occurring toxic areas? How about areas where most of us wouldn't want to live anyways... like Endicott NY for example? How many of us actually want to live in the Arctic or Antarctic, Greenland or Iceland?
Do a calculation on all of THESE areas, subtract it from his total acreage number, and get back to me on the new numbers.
Also, just stick with what we know. The Earth is a constant size and God isn't going to be expanding it any time soon.
Actually, keeping some continuity in our discussion, the premise was that if God had fixed the initial problem of sin back in Eden and restored mankind to perfection you said:
... then we wouldn't be here. The Earth would have filled up long, long ago and God would have had to stop procreation of humans.
Keep in mind, if God had restored mankind to perfection right then, the water canopy would likely still be in place and the earth would be a paradise with perfect living conditions regardless of where you were. So no need to rule out any acreage. It would all be perfect - (paradise remember?).
And for kicks, just what do you think God had planned for mankind in the way of procreation and expanding populations. I wonder what the population situation would be like if no one in history committed fornication and there were no pregnancies out of wedlock? What would the population loss be from those babies not conceived and the resulting generations that those children ended up producing?
Of course we'd need to add back in all the people that were ever killed due to religious wars and squabbles.
