"96. Human population growth. Less than 0.5% p.a. growth from six people 4,500 years ago would produce today's population. Where are all the people? if we have been here much longer?"
War, famine, plague, low birth rate, high infant mortality rate, neutral birth rate, etc.
Try again.
"97. "Stone age" human skeletons and artefacts. There are not enough for 100,000 years of a human population of just one million, let alone more people (10 million?). See Where are all the people?"
Fossilization is extremely rare, needs very specific circumstances and can be easily destroyed by geological changes if they do form.
Try again.
"98. Length of recorded history. Origin of various civilizations, writing, etc., all about the same time several thousand years ago. See Evidence for a young world."
Yes. All about the same time and all in about the same fucking place, which explains why it was all at the same time. When one civilization figures out how to write, their neighbors are going to quickly pick it up, too.
What this has to do with a young Earth, I'm not sure. I suppose you're implying that we would have had recorded history back 100,000 years if the earth were "old" or some such, right? You might want to think about the connection between irrigation, permanent settlements and recorded history. When one doesn't have to migrate with the seasons or hunt down food because you've domesticated it and can grow your own crops, you have a bit more time to develop things like writing.
Try again, my ill informed little friend.
