Subject: How many kids do you want to have?

Check this out. (I came up with this on my own because I'm bored)

Every 10 years a couple has the potential to bear 13 kids. Assuming the chic is impregnated the night after she gives birth to her child, and all her children are born on a strict 9 month schedule. Now...in those 10 years, you'd have 3 months to spare where you wouldn't be pregnant at all. Therefore, every thirty years, assuming you were always pregnant would allow you to squeeze out another kid.
Let's pretend for a minute that we are Adam and Eve who live to be some 930 years old. Do the math! They had the potential to bear 1201 kids in the course of that time. That is just bare bones too, we're not even taking into account that it is possible they could have twins or triplets.
Now I know what you're thinking..."But how long could a women actually be of Child bearing age?" Well, I'd like to agree that that is a legitmate question, but at the same time it isn't. I mean...how long can a human live? 120 years tops? Maybe! Well...as I said...Adam was 930...so we'll assume that they had the potential to bear kids all those years. Seeing as how God commanded them to "populate" the earth.
Long story short...it really didn't take "millions" of years to populate the earth...that's a bunch of hoohaa.
Ok...that's my spiel for the night.
Ciao.

Please keep in mind all potential variables that come from this theory. Even though Adam and Eve may have lived for 930 years, I'm sure many other people didn't live that long. Also, all women cannot carry a baby and all men cannot produce a baby.
And the entire population from Creation to the Flood was destroyed. Noah survived and it was his duty to start the population over (Genesis 9:1). So any population that existed after Adam and Eve is moot. The life span of humans also decreased to normal after the flood as a punishment (Genesis 6:3).
I hope that all made sense.
