Many billions? *Just how many people to you think live on this planet? *
There are roughly 7 billion people alive today. *Of which, 2 billion are

Pardone me, boss. John didn't mention "Christians", but if he did
you'ld probably be about right.

But don't have to be a Christian to believe in a Creator. So when you
consider the faithful Jews and Muslims in there, plus those who
discount the Divine, but believe in intelligent design alone, you have
more than a couple billion. Way more.
