re: #335 Right Brain

Eon, undoubtedly all countries are having a reduced birthrate due to the changes in agriculture. I had this thought first when sitting on a panel at the National Arts Club, in Grammercy Park in NYC someone was making fun of Sarah Palin, at the time Governor of Alaska, in control of roughly 13% of the proven oil reserves and mother of five children, all hers by birth. And I looked about the room, perhaps a third of whom I knew, and I counted two kids among thirty people. And I had this thought, which seems proximate enough for me, that creationists reproduce, why is immaterial, or at least no more materials than why certain other species are selected for. I find it holds true from place to place.

And by the definition of Darwinian selection are being selected for.

I have not noticed any particular predominance of Christian creationism in the world’s two most populous nations - China and India. And their problems with runaway reproduction are so great that in India, the government distributes free condoms, and in China, the government has gone to the draconian extent of mandating abortions.

You make it seem as if it would be a human success if our population reached a starving trillion.
