Exactly. Which was my point. I actually re-did the calculations on the scrap of paper and the number comes out at around 12 million acres usable, I was just using it to show that if land acres was the determining factor, there would already be food shortages. Ofcourse everyone could be fed no problem at this point in time. I'd say its got more to with land management. If you have got a huge collective farm over several hundred miles, that is going to feed more people than the same area of farms but spread out, because then you don't have to worry about transport logistics etc, can employ less people.

Lack of arable land is a problem, and it will continue to grow as one as deserts grow, but I think its more to do with land management, over-use of resourmces and exploiting trade agreements.

If we are to assume land area as a limiting factor, then like I have shown, we are in trouble. But I am confident, as GM foods become more accepted (As they have to be) we will be able to get more food per acre. So therefore it isn't because technology will always find ways of increasing output. It is the entire system of how we gather food we have to change

Overpopulation is an illusion because of our perceived scarcity of resources.  God provides enough for everyone, the earth has enough for everyone to eat.  We just need to level the playing field and share the world.

I think, as any pilot would tell you, it's a myth.  We have 3/4's as much empty space on earth as we have developed space.

Dorian,

Confess Jesus as God, your Lord and Saviour.

You hit the nail on the head.

Study to show yourself approved.

Well, the doctors know nothing so I cant really ask them anything.

Not over populated now, won't be later.
I once read  that if you took every person in the world, put them in families of four, and pur them in simpe two story houses you could fit everyone on the Island of Japan.
That leaves alot of space.

Nope.
If one believes in Heaven; then there is never enough people to go around  

I believe the Earth is a living conscience.
When the population grows; the Earth creates an additional Heaven (ie Density).

PS- How is it that every human has 100,000+ miles of veins/capillaries in their bodies and not think that there is too many veins in their body?

Why is it that they get along with every mile?
Answer: They have not seen those veins (ie 'Profiling')

We live in an Age of Human Profiling.
Profiling is an Evil Gift we got from the Tree of the Knowlege of Good & Evil. 

P.P.S- Whoever has said there is too many humans, has just declared they are the 'Worthiest' to survive the ovens of holocaust.
