From this day , if we take in account . How much population will be my following generation at the end of
2000 years(from this day).

My question is , will the population be thousands or millions?

Will it likely be fade away in the middle and no trace remains in the end?

Any historical records of this we can present as the proof ..?

If you assume 4 generations per century and 2 descendents per generation, and assume no intermarriage, there would be 2 ^ 80 or roughly 1.2 x 10^24. This number is so large that some or other of the assumptions must be radically changed, but I don't know which ones or exactly how. None the less, it is easy to see that millions is more reasonable than thousands. As for historical records I don't know of any.
