    "7 Billion: How did we get so big so fast?"

    Yep. Like many issues of concern, population growth doesn't have the immediate impact of, say, an earthquake or a flood. It's an issue that's there, but to be dealt with "later" by "someone else", or to be addressed in due course with technology that is either in its infancy or doesn't yet...

    "7 Billion: How did we get so big so fast?"

    Population control doesn't have to be like that, though. I agree that coercion and regulation can be ugly when it comes to matters such as this. I've stated earlier the link between education and fertility rates - hardly an offensive method, and it works. Voluntary decisions not to have kids can...

    "7 Billion: How did we get so big so fast?"

    What, allowing women more choice in controlling their fertility and recognising that our ecological impact will only worsen is a misuse of our energy and effort?? Can I ask what your views are based on? Are they, as Father Heathen intimated above, religiously motivated? I don't want to turn...

    "7 Billion: How did we get so big so fast?"

    With reference to the part I've highlighted, what makes you think that this is the case?

    "7 Billion: How did we get so big so fast?"

    Are you in favour of continued population increase? You didn't explicitly state as much, but I'm guessing you may be leaning that way (apologies if I have misunderstood your post). For those that favour continued growth: don't you think that the natural world is strained enough already? Where...

    "7 Billion: How did we get so big so fast?"

    Resource distribution is only part of the story. We also need to address our resource consumption. Also, there appears to be a link between the improvement in the access to education for girls and women and a reduction in fertility rates, with many educated women deciding to delay having...

    "Oh, my life is SOOOOO hard...!" Do tell!

    I had to sit through 'The X Factor' last night because the remote was over there and I couldn't stretch that far. My dumb dog wouldn't bring it over, either.

    Who is your favorite Who?

    Tom Baker. Met him once when I was about 11. He was in his full Doctor garb (hat, long scarf, long coat etc). He signed my Daleks book and gave me a jelly baby (his character's quirk). I'm not into the modern Dr Who incarnations but out of them, Christopher Eccleston was not bad.

    Fossil sacred to Vishnu?

    A few of the ones featured are ammonites, if you want to know the organism that they are formed from. http://www.shaligram.org/images/sps19.jpg

    Christian God Really Loving?

    Can you explain this? Right, so are you saying that these acts perpetrated by your god could be seen as unloving acts? Mass murder and biocide could perhaps be seen as evil?

    Christian God Really Loving?

    Not during biblical times we didn't. Why did god feel the need to murder everything at the time of the flood? If humans were affecting organsims, surely the solution is to remove the problem (the humans) and leave the other species in place?

    Christian God Really Loving?

    OK, I can see that. I disagree with the story being viewed in that way, but I understand that some will perhaps prefer to focus on the 'bigger picture'.

    Christian God Really Loving?

    I was waiting for this one :D How can a blade of a grass, an ant, a worm an oak tree or whatever (pick an organism) be affected by human sin?

    Christian God Really Loving?

    A point I'm (continually) making is that why was ALL life destroyed? Why was it deemed necessary to kill animals and plants when it was humans that were affected by sin? No-one seems to be able to answer me on this.

    Christian God Really Loving?

    OK, we are all god's creations. He decides to get rid of us and start again. The problem for me is that we are not clay models - we are living, breathing, feeling humans who can experience pain, fear, terror etc. If a kid decides to stamp on the clay models he has grown tired of, then fair...
