Then 125x5 = 625, then x 5 = 3125, then x 5 = 15625 within 200 years
Then x 5 = 78125, then x 5 = 390625, then x 5 = 1953125 within 300 years (that's like the population of Cyprus)!
Then x 5 = 9765725, then x 5 = 48 million, then x 5 = 240 million within 400 years (nearly the population of the United States)!
Dare we go for 500 years? We'd already reach a billion people within just 1 more generation, let alone 3 more generations before reaching 500 years! Of course, wars, famine, etc.. all slow this down, but if people could live 900 years - just imagine!!! Hahahahahaha..
Well, the world has "transformed" in unimaginable ways within the past 100 years or so anyway!
It's a lot of souls.
