Do you also think having inexhaustable energy would add to this burden of overpopulation?

yes and no - the more 'tech' a country gets the lower the birth rate ( this is true in all countries - religions and societies )

Yes, I agree. In the coming decade, the world's population will reach 7 billion. We don't have enough resources to feed all of the people who have. Yes, some countries are reproducing faster than others. But in America, we use 1/3 of all the world's natural resources! In order for us to survive, we need to seriously look at controlling birth rates, plus cutting back on the resources that are consumed and finding alternative energy resources to help prevent the global warming effects that are threatening our planet. I highly recommend seeing "An Inconvenient Truth" to anyone who is concerned about global warming and overpopulation.

Yes,the world's an overpopulated place.But an inexhaustible source of energy would solve the problem and also contribute to more hazards.

I think the world is at an ever-increasing population-increasing rate. When there are too many people, the Lord decides, through death, how to make things "right". I think having inexhaustable energy would be wonderful, but that wouldn't solve the problem. Making a bigger world would solve it, regardless of the death factor, but I didn't make the world...therefore, I can't fix it.

Overpopulation is a state of mind. It is just a matter of disorganization of resources, not lack of them. There are vast amounts of land just sitting. There are vast amounts of about anything you can think of just going to waste as we speak. Overpopulation is caused by laziness, selfishness and ignorance, regarding how to best use what God has given us. If we can send men to live on the moon, why can't we learn to more wisely harvest the bounty of this earth?

Yes, the world is overpopulated. There are only so many sources of food and clean water on earth, and once we surpass the threshhold we will be having wars over things as simple as clean drinking water.

Humans are not overpopulated enough to start collapsing its own population. But they are overpopulated enough to cause mass extinction of many species (such activities are overexploitation, deforestation, overfishing etc...)

I truly believe God has ever thing under control.
Hope you and your family have a great Christmas.
16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

The population itself is not the problem. The economic footprint people leave on the planet is.
