So what? I'm near-positive there were more people inhabiting the earth than that BEFORE the Flood.
Talked to my grandpa who is the bible expert in our family... he doesn't think there was even a billion people... just around a million or so people.. It's interesting though... I'd have to do some research.

My opinion on the population... it doesn't matter to me really...

It would take next to no time to build up a massive population. I don't believe that we could possibly "overpopulate" the world, at least not at a mere 7 billion. If you even look at a lightmap of the world, you can see that it is mainly the eastern half of the US and the coastline that is really lit up. Canada there is hardly any light, same with australia and many other places of the world. And not because it's a 3rd world country, or anything, but because there literally aren't that many people living there. They say China and such is over populated, but in reality they have 100's of miles of wilderness, they just choose to cram themselves into little cities.
That's what I was thinking too, even though my grandpa said that even if the people were having children every year they wouldn't have the population to 7 billion... I think there was AT LEAST 3.5-5 billion people before the flood.
I think overpopulation would start at around 250-500 billion people... Although when/if that happens.. is another story.
Those light maps are interesting, that's really true, and sad that countries like china have people cramming themselves into one area, and then making laws against over population, even though it is there fault in the first place for cramming themselves into such a small space!

Im Leaning towards A Super large number, The world they lived in was absolutaly meant to be inhabited. And from all that I have seen wouldnt have any uninhabitle lands (besides water). And with the ppl living so long and "having sons and daughters" it was probobly a rediculous number.
Man I wish I had a working time machine it would be interesting to see if they had like cities or a government. xD
