Sorry to have taken up your time, editor-surveyor.

For anyone else, it's a great little science lecture about population, not global warming, and makes some really interesting points. You'll learn a little about the real-life application of the "miracle of compound interest" and a few other worthwhile things. If you have children or grandchildren you might just find that you care about what's said by Professor Bartlett.

thanks

-"miracle of compound interest"_

If he is pinning his math on compound interest in relation to population growth, he is guilty of the scientific error of assuming a static universe and omitting variables.

This kind of reasoning was around in the 50's and said we would be out of everything by 1976 (they always pick great dates) because of population growth. But most developed nations are in decline and world overall population growth has slowed. Plus, the best estimate of what the earth could sustain for population is 36 billion. So we have a way to go.

If there is anything to worry about, it is the UN trying to "redistribute wealth" and make everyone into poor socialists instead of rich capitalists.

We don't need a lecture from the death culture about population.

The Lord himself will dictate who is born, and when. Your racial motives are evident, but this also goes far beyond race into the very nature of life, which 'scientists' will never understand or mimic, and with which therefore have no right to tamper.
