commonsense dictates that for every death there had to be a birth but that there are some living that have not yet died plus Jesus and Mary and Enoch and one or two others - twinc

Is this a trick question.
The same number of people that are born, will also be the same number of people who will die, except the people you have already nominated in the quoted response below: -
the only question that needs to be answered is will there still be people alive on the last day of the lord. Scripture tells us that there will be, so the answer to your question is that at that particular point in time from the year that Adam was created, up and until the last day of the lord, is yes but the percentage difference between the two numbers of those who are dead, and those who have been born up to that day is so small that it is generally considered to be miniscule.
Now if the resurrected dead are to be counted as well, in those who are still alive on that particular day, then the question needs to be defined a little more carefully to clarify who can be counted in that number.
what day is the starting day for this question? Is it the day of the creation of Adam?
what day is the last day for this question? Is it the point in time to the minute and hour and day, when Christ comes to judge the world, that he first sets his foot back on the surface of the earth?
How complicated do we need to make this question?
