God created more then one male and female.

No mention of the women or children.

Scripture please ?

Of course, we can come up with other ideas like maybe people landed on earth from other planets and that's who the one or two children of Adam and Eve married.
Or we can believe Adam's few children mated with animals and much of the population was from them.

Something not mentioned is that some believe that Eve was not Adam's first wife. They believe that his first wife was someone named Lillith and Eve was a replacement for her. Maybe Adam had children by Lilleth before he had children with Eve.

Scripture please ?

It also doesn't prove they didn't, which is your claim.

Nope,there were people of all races on the boat.Gen.6:19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee;they shall be male and female

Once again,no scripture.

Scripture for how many people were on the earth? Do the math!

Adam died (and yes, I'm a math whiz) just 57 years after Noah was born. There were over half a million people on the earth when Noah started building the ark almost 500 years later. Noah was the last man to live as long as he did. His sons and those thereafter didn't live much longer than 120.

Adam through Noah, those people lived to see 8-10 generations after them. The numbers are exponential as to their direct descendants alone. Spread that family tree out farther as more people arrived on the earth and you get into the massive thousands quickly.

I knew a woman who lived to see five generations or her family. In total, she had over 500 descendants, over 200 of them being great-grandchildren. She only had 10 kids herself.

If one women and one man can produce that many in less than 100 years today, just imagine what Adam and Eve alone did in 1000 years!

Consider that only the eldest son of each bloodline is mentioned after Seth. However, there were countless other people involved that aren't mentioned. Noah had brothers and sisters. NONE of them were in the ark. Not a one.

However, interesting to note is that the bloodline mentioned before Noah had died before the flood happened, even his own father. I'm speaking only of those who are named in Genesis 6.

You also need to understand that the first 6 or 7 chapters of Genesis go back and forth in time. This is evidenced by chapter 6 reflecting on things that took place in the previous chapters, but speaks as if it didn't happen until chapter 6.

Wow. Are you suggesting that although the Bible mentions several times that only 8 people were on the ark, the writers of the Bible didn't consider people of other races to be people? Cause that's exactly what you are doing.

In fact, the writers of the Bible don't ever acknowledge the presence of people of other races during the beginning of time from creation to after the flood! Proof that racism existed from creation and also came from God???
