No, because as the human population increases plant and animal populations decrease so it is basically a wash.

No. The mass that makes up you comes from what you eat. The Earth's mass increases when meteors and meteorites from outer space enter the atmosphere or hit the ground. And a stream of subatomic particles from the sun (the solar wind) can leave a few here that aren't deflected by Earth's magnetic field. But, apart from these, Earth is a closed system. When your mass went up, some other mass (a cow, an apple, some sugar cane) went down.

Proof?
Don't be silly - increasing mass from where? We don't live off moon rocks, do we?
The mass is already here - its just getting moved around.
The mass of the earth does increase but not because of humans - its about 30,000 tons of meteors and asteroids each year.
The human race could double its numbers and the earth wouldnt be a single gram heavier as a result.

Not from the growing population. The planet does gain a lot of mass from space debris, but humans are basically made from dirt. You could say that earth itself is actually losing mass because it's going to making us instead.

Nope. Any human mass came from something in the Earth directly or indirectly. The mass of the Earth _is_ increasing daily through constant bombardment by meteorites though.

Yes but not from population increase,all the food comes from the earth. But there are several tons of rocks that fall in every 24 hr.

In the scale we are talking about it doesn't matter, besides even if you do the math, you will see some sort of compensation, due to the burning of natural gases and such, and besides the population is not growing at such a rate, there are factors like death, and others. According to Copernicus, the universe is a pretty stable system (maintaining of orbits and such)exlcuding the mass expansion

Nope. Where do you think the mass in the human bodies came from?

we get food from earth and + energy from sun
yes energy from sun convert to extra mass
