Hmm, sadly the adage "Caucasoid males can't jump" has a equally notable oppositional adage.

If God truly did flood the world and kill every living thing except Noah and his family and the animals of the Ark how many abortions do you think he committed that day?

But you must remember that all of those pregnant women and their fetuses were evil and deserving of God’s punishment. It is also important to remember that he did it because he loved them soo much.

If someone can come up with a date and a better number of peeps on the earth we can redo the math.

Here's some numbers (you can decide how accurate you feel them to be):

http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/2012/03/09/feedback-timeline-for-the-flood A Christian web site that puts the flood at 2348 BC. Other 'experts' have there own opinions, but this is as good as any for a fictional event.

http://www.vaughns-1-pagers.com/history/world-population-growth.htm This site is from an historian. All estimates will be only conjecture, of course, but I think this may be a good educated guess. He puts the world population in 2000 BC at 27 million. No word on how many pregnancies. I think 8 million would be close.

Wow. So, 27 million peeps were murdered. 8 million pregnancies seems too high to me. Less than 14 mil are female. Maybe there were a million pregnant women.

Who knows, but it was certainly more than a few.

The Biblical answer is: http://www.christiananswers.net/dictionary/canaan.html

Canaan was the culprit responsible for Black people in this interpretation. Canaan (cursed to be black) was the son of Ham . Ham was the son of Noah.

No mention of Chinese, Native Americans, Aborigines or Swedes. There must have been a lot of cursing on God's part shortly after the flood. Otherwise we would have to believe in evolution (can't have that).

In a thread long ago I asked how all the diverse species of plants survived the flood underwater (there is no mention of plants on the ark). One believer suggested that some seeds, like coconuts, can float. It gave me a whole new appreciation of the roses in my back yard. Now I know that they are actually coconut trees.

Is that why no one died?

I was taught that at the tower of Babel, beside the whole language changing thing, god also created all the other not as good as white people races

You are probably right. I pulled that number (8 million) out of some place you would rather not hear about.

My thought was that, due to a shorter life span in those days, most women would be of child baring age and birth control was hard to come by then. I just figured that there would be a higher percentage of pregnant women. I'm happy (actually appalled) with a figure of one million.

A reasonable explanation as long as the Welsh and Irish are not counted among the "not as good".
