::::Also, I fully support the Second Law of Thermodynamics, and there is no contradiction with regards to evolution; the entropy of the sun is increasing more than entropy due to life on earth is decreasing.

:::::I apologize for not being clear on my population calculations. Please allow me to restate:
:::::Let's assume the following:
:::::Eight people survived the flood (the year 3000 BC).
:::::1,000,000 people lived around the time of the Exodus (a highly conservative number) in the year 2500 BC
:::::To achieve this population, the population needs to increase by 2.5% each year. (4 woman * 1.025^500 ~= 1,000,0000)
:::::Assume the average person lives to 1000, and there are no deaths (which seems like a BIG assumption)
:::::In 900 years, this comes to an average of 50 children (1000 * .025 = 25. Multiply by two, since only woman reproduce and increase population, in practice, to get 50).
:::::That strains credulity a bit.
