Its just one of those questions, that you have to think through, is having a very populated earth a positive or negative thing...and since we do have such a populated planet, what are some ways we can go about making it the paradise we all dream of?

A highly populated earth would have more evil simply because there would me more people to commit evil acts. As for a paradise, good luck, because one person's paradise is another person's hell.

There's the old Unix joke where you have the computer print out "/Earth is 98% full - delete someone". The solution to overpopulation is the same for humans as it is for any other species, population reduction from resource depletion, famine. As to seeking new resources. Nature is full of that too, such as locusts flying from field to field. However, colonizing Mars is merely a lack of imagination. It would be better to colonize space in O'Neill cylinders, Bernal Sphere's, Stanford Torus's and Hollowed Asteroids. You would have to build enclosed biospheres on Mars to survive anyway, so why not build them in space where large structures are easier to build, transportation does not have the planetary gravitational well or atmospheric re-entry to worry about, solar energy is constant and uninterrupted, and the structure could be spun to give 1 g of gravity. As to whether or not our world would no longer be over populated. What happened to the population of Europe when America was colonized? The Earth would still be overpopulated, it's just that humanity would have expanded beyond the confines of the Earth.

The more people, the smaller each person's slice of the pie. With the current population, a paradise is impossible. The number of citizens of industrial nations ensures that resources will be in short supply, and the dearth will make conflict inevitable.

It has nothing to do with population. 'Evil' is a result of learned behavior. 99% of the time when people are doing something that is detrimental to society, it is because they have been trained to act that way. This could be the result of having parents who are criminals or it could be the result of being brainwashed by religious or political authorities.

Absolutely wrong: our planet: the incubation station of the universe was specifically created for planting carnal seed.
According to esoteric, Biblical, Torah and Koran laws, it is the only place assigned seed growing status. All carnal pre-earthen beings that had carnal inclinations were assigned here. They have been grabbing bodies ever since and using the captured bodies to do their do.

in the bible Cain still killed Abel.
it has nothing to do with the amount of people but i can see what your saying.
Yes there might be less and we would be more satisfied but then theres those people tat will always want more and more and more and if they could get people on their side then they would win.
you must focus on the way we treat one another. if we treated each other better there wouldn't be as much violence in the world

Good question, thanks for asking it. No, I don't think so... God never meant for abortion to happen, or murder... Before the fall of man we wouldn't even think of doing such a think (I refer to Adam and Eve of course when I say that.) But honestly, the situation might just get worse with less of us. Human nature is evil by birth...but is goood by the renewing of our body's in Jesus Christ. By His blood, we are clean. The answer to less evil is not less people, but less satan... Less human nature and more God centered nature. Evil is everywhere, but so is God.
God is a God of love, and a God of amazing gifts....Life is a gift, use it well.
God bless you

Humans tend to group in numbers for protection. That in turn
creates glutted cities, full of slums as the side-effect of too much competition for basic needs. Terra herself has plenty of room.

As far as the Earth's well-being is concerned, it's a bad thing.

i think lack of access to birth control in a population can certainly lead to more crime, absolutely. Too many people and not enough access to resources to support them always has that effect- poverty leads to crime.
