I honestly don't see how in a period of just several thousand years we expanded our population over the globe with just sticks and stones...

That right there is the real missing link. There is a lack of explanation for the rapid Human expansion that took place less than 40 thousand years ago. It took Dinosaurs something like 100s of thousands. and those things were huge.

It is also peculiar that we are the only special with this level of intelligence. We are self aware and capable of doing things no other species can. What up with that? You cant say its because the meat we ate evolved us faster. Other animals ate meat too. Why are they so late Darwin?

To make it more reply worthy you could have tried including other fallacies such as "If we evolved from chimps why are chimps still around"

So I'm afraid I can offer you 0 points

>known population growth numbers
Population growth numbers are a dependent on number of predators and food sources available. We can populate the way we can because of our modern agricultural ability, and no longer have any natural predators thanks to technology.

What growth rate is needed to get six billion people since the Flood?
It is relatively easy to calculate the growth rate needed to get today’s population from Noah’s three sons and their wives, after the Flood. With the Flood at about 4,500 years ago, it needs less than 0.5% per year growth.6 That’s not very much.

Of course, population growth has not been constant. There is reasonably good evidence that growth has been slow at times—such as in the Middle Ages in Europe. However, data from the Bible (Genesis 10,11) shows that the population grew quite quickly in the years immediately after the Flood. Shem had five sons, Ham had four, and Japheth had seven. If we assume that they had the same number of daughters, then they averaged 10.7 children per couple. In the next generation, Shem had 14 grandsons, Ham, 28 and Japheth, 23, or 130 children in total. That is an average of 8.1 per couple. These figures are consisent with God’s command to ‘be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth’ (Genesis 9:1).

Let us take the average of all births in the first two post-Flood generations as 8.53 children per couple. The average age at which the first son was born in the seven post-Flood generations in Shem’s line ranged from 35 to 29 years (Genesis 11:10–24), with an average of 31 years,7 so a generation time of 40 years is reasonable. Hence, just four generations after the Flood would see a total population of over 3,000 people (remembering that the longevity of people was such that Noah, Shem, Ham, Japheth, etc., were still alive at that time).8 This represents a population growth rate of 3.7% per year, or a doubling time of about 19 years.9

If there were 300 million people in the world at the time of Christ’s Resurrection,2 this requires a population growth rate of only 0.75% since the Flood, or a doubling time of 92 years—much less than the documented population growth rate in the years following the Flood.

6. 6.If r = % rate of growth per year, and the number of years of growth = n, then after n years, the population produced by the eight survivors of the Flood = 8(1+r/100)n. For a more comprehensive formula that takes into account longevity, number of children born and generation time, see Morris,H.M., World population and Bible chronology, Creation Research Society Quarterly 3(3):7–10, 1966.

You can't take modern growth rates and apply them over an extended period of time, growth rates have a multitude of factors and thanks to modern technologies, we have a much higher potential growth rate than in the past.

I think every species tends to expand exponentially given the circumstances. What I don't think is the human race always had conditions favorable for an exponential growth rate.
