Does over-population exist? Aren't there sometimes too many people somewhere? I reckon 'it' doesn't exist, except where 'it' does.

True, if you came to India you would think the world was over populated. If I went over to the US, I would think the world was underpopulated.

You could have 100 children and will still make no difference except your house will be over populated ;D

Moises, your question is pertinent . Although it is a secular vs religious thing, debunking the myth of overpopulation is the need of the hour. If we squeezed close, everyone in the world could stand shoulder-to-shoulder on the island of Zanzibar. http://www.pop.org/content/debunking-myth-overpopulation

The best take I could probably get from this lately thoughts regarding the rapid increasing numbers of people living
on earth, is to remind my self that God really have No respect of persons (partiality), but people do, and after
watching carefull at my self (even so unconsciously) I have diminished people less worthy than others for walking
this earth, I do realize that the reasons were because the way I was raised and because of wrong preconceived
ideas. Now that I realize it, I repent of that.
God have a plan for everybody's life (in all countries, all races, all colors), and He loves them very much, not for
what they are now, but for what they will become eventually... This is God's planet and wherever I go and in
whoever I met, I can see at least a slice of God.
ps. Honestly, I would not even bother to try to figure out how to solve any problem of overpopulation/overcrowding my self, not my job, nothing in my power that I can do, I leave that problems for the governments and ultimately, it's really God's bussines. For the now I just have many other more personal problems to deal with on my daily life.

Hi Loretta,
I did the math and 6,000,000,000 people on the Island of Zanzibar would allow for less than 5 square feet per person. So where would you put the trees, the crops, the cows, sheep & chickens, the streams of fresh water and the "waste disposal"; especially the waste disposal. ::)
