Looking from a spacecraft towards Earth, an early astronaut would have seen only the Waters above the inner Firmament at the time of Adam to Noah. Earth would not have been visible to early astronauts.

From Adam to Noah
A modern Tree-of-Life computational technique permits one to calculate the population growth of the Genesis patriarchs using only the divine wisdom of the bible, verse by verse, from Adam to Noah, to reveal a world of tens of billions of people on Earth just before the Genesis flood.
The Waters above The Waters
From Adam to Noah
Jesus prophesied: Matthew 24:37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Using just the skills for balancing your checkbook, I can now see for yourself the incredible truths of the prophesied words of Jesus.

Gen 2:7And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Adam Fi = 1
This value is set to 1, unless it is stated that more that 1 son or daughter is born.
At this point the tree of life has only 1 branch on it. There is only Adam. Gi = 1
M = 6An initial Birth/Death ratio value of M=6 assumes that only one death occurred for every 6 births.
At this point there is only Adam. The index i = 1. The Fruitfulness Fi=1, the Population G1=1.
Gen 3:21, 22And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept: and took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

F2 is set to value 2 because God gave Eve to Adam, but Cain was given birth by Eve.

Gi = (Fi + Gi-1)
At this point there is Adam, Eve and Cain. The index i = 2. The new population is now G2 = F2 + G1 = 2 + 1 = 3 This is the value F2 (Fi) added to the previous population G1 (Gi-1).

Gi = (Fi + Gi-1)
The population on the earth is at least 12 following the birth of Naamah. It is important to note that the calculations here are based solely on those patriarchs mentioned in the Book of
Genesis and the information pertaining to their begotten sons and daughters.
Gen 4:25 Adam at 130 begat Seth (in his
own image)Adam lived 800 years, had sons,
daughters
A Fruitfulness of Fi = 6 is assigned
because Adam had sons and
daughters
Gi = 288The tree now has 288
branches on it.
M = 6
Gi = (M*Fi +Gi-1) *M
NOTE: Note: in this verse, the factor M is used in the equation Gi = (M*Fi +Gi-1) *M. Each time it is mentioned in the book of Genesis that a patriarch lived a given number of years and had sons and daughters, a fruitfulness number of 6 is assigned. The Fruitfulness is multiplied. This may be considered to be reasonable value, as the plurality of "sons and daughters" always implies at least a number of 4 or more children for any given patriarch. Each time, maturity information is given. For instance: Adam was 130 years old at the time he begat Seth, Seth was 105 years at maturity and Enos was 90 years at Maturity. Each time sons and daughters are mentioned, the calculation Gi = (M*Fi + Gi-1)*M is used.

The factor M is again used in the equation
Gi = (M*Fi +Gi-1) *M. Recall also, the LORD has commanded all to be fruitful and multiply. Gen 8:17, 9:1
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Gen 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
It is important to note that immediately after the Flood of Noah, the longevity of nine hundreds of years, as recorded in Genesis for the , pre-flood patriarchs of the Bible, was greatly reduced to just over a hundred years.
Gen 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the
same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
At this point, the population on the earth is well into the billions, as it is today! Recall that the calculations are based solely on the patriarchs mentioned in the Book of Genesis, their begotten sons and daughters, giants not counted. Thus, scientifically considering, the actual numbers must have been far greater than what is calculated here.

The Waters above The Waters
From Adam to NoahAccording to the Book of Matthew, Jesus spoke relating to our present times and His coming.
Matthew 24:37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.Matthew 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, Matthew 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Gen 6:11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
Gen 6:13 And God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.”
Gen 6:14 Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.
Gen 6:22 Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did.
Gen 7:6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
Gen 7:12 And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.
