"The evolutionary model, says that human beings have been on Earth for about 150,000 years. If that's true, why is the Earths population not millions of times greater than it is now?"
Thats a question some creationist asked me and I honestly dont know how to answer it. Personally, this still doesn't disprove evolution in any way because there's to much evidence for it while this is just 1 against it.
Im pretty sure this crap this creationist is spouting out of his mouth is BS cause everything else he said I debunked lol. Anyways, can anyone help?

Stuff like:
Environmental limitations
Disease
Initially only slow advances in technology
The human population growth has only taken off since the industrial revolution because of advancements caused by... you guessed it... the industrial revolution.
Before that there was no way to provide the vast amount of food and other essential supplies that are required to keep the birth rate so mush higher than the death rate.
Thanks for taking your time to explain to creationists that they are ignoring decent facts and scientific reasoning. Muchly appreciated.

The human population only began its major expansion at the end of the Ice Age about 10-12,000 years ago. At one point, about 70,000 years ago, H. sapiens may have faced extinction after the Lake Toba eruption that made Krakatoa look like a firecracker.
The population is the basis for evolution. The Earth could not support millions of times the human population. It could not support 100 times the ant population (about 10-15% of all terrestrial animal biomass). It is the competition for finite resources that drives natural selection.

While I'm a Creationist, I will tell you that I don't waste my time arguing with people who have made up their minds. That time is better spent being productive.
One reason the earth's population would not be millions of times more than it is could have been the harsh living conditions that shortened lifespans and raised infant mortality rates until recent times.
I hope this gives you some comfort, since the question seems to have gotten you riled up.

Just look at a graph of the birth/death ratio of humans since 150,000 years ago to modern times, and that would answer your questions easily.
