Bartolomè de las Casas and early Christian literature

Bartolomè de Las Casas(1484-1566) is an theological men and Dominican monk he has told about massacres of Hispanic in La Isla Espanola, this is actual Cuba, but following read of this book it is very strange that he told, at 1552, about slaughters of Spanish; he says that he has seen these massacres, it is unreliable, why? Because he has not counted residents in La Isla Espanola, therefore he could not count dies, second deduction, he indicated always same island but we must think that other names Spanish had given to other town, no certainly cities, but simple town also wooded, it is sufficient that state of Florida in USA, it has had this name from the captain  that with Amerigo Vespucci,  just in landed, he has seen a very little place of actual state he has said that this town remembered region where he born, this is Florinda, that during time has becomes Florida; therefore we can think that after 59 years Spaniards could change names to very much places; very strange that Bartolomè de las Casas didn’t mentioned these names and descriptions of these places, and I repeated how much were the natives, he says millions, but if it were true they have outclassed the Spaniards, but it has not happened, why? Simple because natives were not millions and Spaniards were not millions. These narration is derived from early Christian literature, where are told persecutions and other; histories of martyrs and others, but Christian after 2th century after Christ they were may 50 thousand on 50 millions of people, therefore they were not millions, but it is very important model to Bartolomè de las Casas, because he could emphasize these events; therefore he told what has heard or read; therefore a step of this book says: “I speak with truth, as far as I know and I have seen all time after mentioned”; this is true? No certainly, because he says “as far as I know and I have seen all time after mentioned”, but if you have seen it you just known it, therefore it is right to say: “I can  tell that I have seen”, but no certainly “as far as I know”, because you can have known it through other sources, also indirect, therefore unreliable, because in conformity of opinion of Mark Block; if first soldier has an order, this is attack, and he have to say it to second and to third and so, the last soldier has understood that battalion must retire, if these dies were been millions somebody has counted these millions of natives, why isn’t number; these are lies alone, and we accustomed to these lies to history above all.  somebody can say that he has privated of millions of money, he must have had the sum inter because he has counted that 100 millions now lack 1 or 2, but he has had sum precedent and after he can give count, but in book of Bartolomè this count isn’t, therefore how much natives were and how much Spaniards had killed? We haven’t number neither of natives or Spaniards and dies; I hope that nobody historical man is going mistake so, and it is impossible, that he doesn’t lies, but it is vague hope.
