In the Bible when they do a count of population they number men who are of fighting age between 20 and 50. Women and children are not counted. The Bible also tells of wars where people are killed in mass. One was 185,000 in just one night. God was protecting a city and caused the enemy to have a delusion and they killed themselves.Note: This post was recovered from the Sh.org archive.Username: dianagDate: 2019-01-15 16:12:01Reaction Score: 1
Then think about the first Passover when Israel left Pharaoh. The first born male of every Egyptian was killed. No telling how many males that was.
The non-Jewish population sacrificed their children, the Romans took the children they didn't want out into the hills or fields and left them to be eaten by wild animals. I'm sure there were many other populations who had differing ritualistic activities for killing. The Canaanites and other nations were cannibalistic people. Recorded since the 1973 an estimated 17.52 billion babies have been aborted worldwide.
The Black Death was huge and estimates range from 75-200 million deaths. I think this occurred more than once.
Other pandemics, drought, and extreme cold also took huge numbers of lives.
There are probably many other cataclysmic earth events that decimated populations like tsunami, earth quake, volcanoes, floods, tornadoes, and hurricanes. Look at what has happened in the last 10 years.
It is sad to think of all those lives lost. What would the world be like today and what would our population be in numbers if these things didn't happen?
