since matter cannot be created nor destoryed dont you think that there is possibly an end line to matter ... what i mean is there is no infinite amount of matter ,, matter ends somewhere . .. so therefore there has to be a limit for DNA for living beings.. so you cant say its possible for inifinite people or animals to be born or exists because of this fact.
if you dont understand this complex issue please dont open your mouth !!!

This is based on the life cycle (coming from eath> birth > death > return to earth)

The limiting factor for biomass is carbon. As more and more CO2 is released from fossil fuel, there is an increasing amount of it to be incorporated into biomass. Nitrogen is plentiful in the atmosphere, which can be fixed by bacteria, and plants turn nitrates into protein. The ultimate energy source is the sun. So biomass can increase without limit.
Fish produce million of eggs, but only two are expected to grow to adults. The population of each species is self-regulated. As for human, famine, war, natural disaster and diseases will limit human population.
The sky is not falling yet.

Matter is cycled. What do you think happens when we die? We return to the earth, thus matter is regenerated.
We will never run out of matter, but we will run out of energy, which is what prevents an infinate amount of people. If you've studied chemistry or biology at a low university level, you'd have learned something called entropy. Entropy is the idea that we will run out of useful energy for us to continue to live. There will not be enough energy to allow the theoretically infinate amounts of people and animals to live (if there were no other factors like entropy).
