>>>>If you are being serious, populations do not increase exponentially or even at a rate of 100%. It will take humans a very long time to fill up the habitable part of the earth. That's if we don't manage to destroy it first....
>>>
>>>Population research scientists disagree with you.

>>It takes 2.1 children per woman to sustain a population. The only western country that is currently maintaining that is the US at exactly 2.1. While 3rd world nations are blowing this average away their populations do not live as long due to numerous factors. The population of the earth is not increasing anywhere close to exponentially and the balance will be reached long before due to socio-economic factors.

>>Besides, haven't you heard? The herd will be thinned by:
>>-Bird Flu
>>-Super Flu
>>-Global Warming
>>-Lead in toys
>>-Supervolcano
>>-Rapture

>Never mind war, famine, AIDS, murder, car crashes (et al), the resurgence of, say, TB, new strains of malaris, etc, etc. In the test tube the microbes have no mortal enemies, lack of food, earthquakes, etc.
