i addressed the bible in my previous post…
But I look at South Korea with its 0.7 TFR as the epitome of loving and loyal marriages that are absolutely NOT fruitful…from a Darwinian perspective there is no way those types of marriages are a good thing.

There are SOCIETAL consequences if more than enough people follow a certain habit. If God encourages us to be fruitful and multiply, it is best to listen and I agree with that.
There is a difference between COMMANDING you to do something and merely TOLERATING.
God may encourage certain actions and behaviors, but if these encouragements are not followed, it may still be viewed as the individual’s choice and responsibility KNOWING full well of its consequences.
In such cases, God may tolerate the failure to follow the encouraged path, but this does not necessarily imply approval of the alternative action. Instead, it may reflect God’s understanding of human free will and the consequences that may arise from one’s choices.
