I know it will take a while, but do you think on earth we will eventually not have enough space for life? Our population is constantly growing, we are already cutting down rainforests for stupid reasons. After a while, do you think we will just run out of room? I am not talking about us finding a way to live on the moon or a planet.

But wisdom cube, life spans are getting longer and longer, so more people are going to be around, more people are going to be born, and it will all add up.

we are running out of food producing room right now
farmers are forced to farm highly erosive lands to keep up with the demand of an fast increasing world population ,which has doubled in the last 50 years.
high rise buildings have proved to be responsible for all kinds of mental disorders ,so we cant keep building sky scrapers to live in ,the safe height ,to not effect human psychology is 4 stories high
and settlement space as well as agriculture are diminishing much needed bio mass,,already for a while
our rainforrests are essential to maintain a human friendly global environment ,as well as the production of water ,not to mention exotic species of flora and fauna.
and an unknown wealth of medicenes is yet to be discovered in our tropical jungles.
part of the remedy for the global problems we have got is a control in population ,in fact we need less people to recover a healthy balance.
this is why Kissinger said at a 1998 Meeting in Kopenhagen ,that the Bilderberg Agenda required a cut of 60% in the global population
the scary notion is ,how would they archieve this.????

No. If you read population predictions you'll see that we're projected to level off at around 10 billion. It's not exponential growth, it's logistic growth.
Edit: The earth can hold a lot of people. There are billions and billions of large animals on this planet, way more than humans.
Plus, the projections account for that. People are having fewer kids at the same time life spans are going up.

that is a pretty scary thought and it is possible. i mean we are starting to protect a lot of rainforest and land, but i mean earth might, especially with the idea that life spans are getting longer. mother nature has a way of getting rid of people, rather mercilessly though. i think that is one reason in overcrowded areas there is a lot of disease. but still i think if we work to we can stop such large population growth. personally i tihnk in the u.s. we should have a maximum births per family at 5 children but people would consider that like a tyranny. i think there should be something done about it, but there really isnt much to do about it. shortly, i do think it is possible.

Everything has a carrying capacity even the Earth so yes we will run out of room it might not be for a longtime but yes we will run out of room sooner or later. The Earth will run out of resources to support us all and then we will have reached the carrying capacity of Earth.

Drive from San Francisco to Salt Lake City and then to Boise. Not very crowded. Ditto Arizona, New Mexico, the Dakotas. Lots of room left, just not very pretty and not very productive.

The communist Chinese & Cambodians and Muslim terrorists are doing their part with bombs, guns, and head chopper off-ers. Several African nations are helping out with genocide and other savagery. The timber barons and gold miners in Brazil kill all the natives they see. There are liberals with their abortions. Fat people die young. Won't happen for quite a few lifetimes (unless the libtards get back in power, chances go way down, then.)

There is not a doubt in my mind that if there are no limitations set on the number of children allowed per person (and there won't be) we will run out of room.

No not true. We have run out of room. Eventually has come already. We have too many people.

No I don't think we will run out of space. Its a question that I believe is not going to get me closer to God so why ask?
