You Poor poor child

I have entitled this article/post what I have, well you'll realize it as soon as you read it... if you read it if course.

What do you think God’s book of people looks like? If it’s one volume, it’s huge; there are a lot of people to write down. Six billion people are alive right now, next second six billion and one, the second after that five billion, nine hundred ninety nine million, nine hundred ninety nine thousand nine hundred ninety nine. I mean, come on, that is a slightly larger amount of people to keep track of then we are used to. All we really care about are myself, myself and oh yah, myself. So, let’s ponder this for a second. According to evolutionists there have been people on the earth for a grand daddy total of one hundred thousand years. Okay first number 100,000 yrs. Check, mortality rate of say fifty percent (.5) and a birth rate of say seventy percent (.7) So population grows. And according to population math modeling it grows exponentially. Where the equation is… (Huzzah Wikipedia and external linking) P(t)=Poe^rt where Po is the Initial Population (of two cuz that’s all you need) and r= growth rate and t=time. For fun lets just say r (which is usually a percentage averaging about 30 percent (.3)) is one. Also for fun lets just say that t is the proverbial 100,000 yrs (you know, the first number. So we have the equation P(100,000)=2*e^1(100,000) OR P= well… infinity… so safe to say there have been a lot of people here people... A LOT. (I forgot that e^x tends to sky rocket once you get past one. Forgive me it’s late and well… I only have four more hours to kill before I technically get to get out of bed) So if we give each person in that really big number (lets say six hundred billion because I like six tonight) a one inch line of room in that really big one volume book of life on a tome like page of 22 inches down printed on both sides we have six hundred billion inches (600,000,000,000) divided by 22 we get 13,636,363,636.4 pages, printed front and back which, if the paper was only 1/32nd of an inch thick we get a book that is 426,136,363.636 inches thick, which is about equal to 6725 miles. Big book. BIG BOOK. Split that into volumes of a ‘manageable’ size of say 2000 pages each and we have 6818181.8 volumes (Hey! Room to expand.) But the problem with this is God doesn’t give us each just an inch of space in the big book of people. Ney ney. The Bible tells us we are His Poems. So, (this could go on for hours if I let it) what kind of poems does God write? Long poems, really long poems. Look at the Psalms, any number of those could go on for pages, however now, we have the added benefit of being able to add columns to our big book of people. Bible scribes did it, why can’t I? It’s all speculation of course. So now each of our pages have three columns in it, and each new poem gets to have a fancy decorative letter too but that is a negligible amount as we’re dealing with not mere feet but miles of printed text. It’s a good thing God is all knowing because this is boggling my mind at the moment. Twenty-two divided by three Oh heck, let’s make it 24 just to make the math simpler (welcome to a physics major’s mind… let’s make the horse equivalent to a sphere to make the math easier) so, each column is now 8 inches wide. Say each poem goes edge to edge in a column for a column and a half, now we’re down to two people a page, four people front and back. So, that’s 150,000,000,000 pages 4,687,500,000 inches thick or 73,982 miles. Again, into manageable tomes and we have 75,000,000 volumes in all. Plus or minus a few hundred. And to think, all these millions of books, all these billions of poems written before God spoke anything into existence. Pretty cool huh?

Ouch. That hurt my brain- a lot. I mean, huh? I did get that we are wonderfully blessed and loved individually, even though we are one of billions. And that, my friend, IS most certainly cool!
