Overpopulation myth wasn't even a concern in the Christian community. Those who fought the overpopulation myth were secularists like Julian Simon.
The only reason you think that the Christian community is trying to fight the overpopulation myth is because I've written against it. But I'm not the same as most Christians in that I wanted to know more about everything and so I looked into economics, science, history, art, culture and philosophy.
julian Simon and Paul Ehrlich made a bet that Julian Simon won.
Basically Ehrlich, the author of the Population Bomb, a book I was knew about before I found out about Simon, argued that the resources on the earth were scarcer and prices of metals would go up. Simon bet that prices would go down. Simon won.
Fact is, there is no overpopulation, and not even near to it. It's a myth. Overpopulation is not defined by square footage of people on the earth, but rather by the sustainability of resources. The fact of the matter is that resources are infinite because they are replaceable.
Metal was replaced by plastic, for example.
Anyway, there is a whole field out there in terms of efficient economic production. Again, the overpopulation myth is just a myth invented so that Kings and Queens and other dictators can control people. When there are too many people the royalty feel threatened. That's the only reason that overpopulation myth is still argued.
The powers that be want to kill people and control them. It is fascinated by death.
You are dodging the question that the elderly are a bigger problem than overpopulation itself. We have something god never expected: a dilemma.
Post by Wise TibetanMonkey, Most Humble PhilosopherWhile the Christians don't want to hear about POPULATION CONTROL,
you got christianity all wrong then
or perhaps your referring to catholicism ? who is against any birth
control system, including coitus interuptus ... (but calendar system
allowed)
I'm yet to know a "pro life" activist who's not Christian.
At the same time they deny the right to die, euthanasia.
What's wrong with this people? I think they are unable to put 2 and 2 together.
