If we leave what may be symptoms of on over populated world out, Refugee/Migration flows, and sideline the issues different faiths are fueling, just maybe we can, without racism,any isms, ask has this world reached peak population? if not when will it, how will we handle it?

AIUI the world has already reached Peak Child, but has not yet reached Peak Population because people are living longer.

Dear Belly,

We have a finite planet with finite resources.

In such a system you can't have infinite population
growth.

Dear Belly,

The symptom of over-population is regimentation.

Technically we could squeeze even more humans on this planet, but with the numbers come rules and regulations - you cannot have that many individuals do what they want without stepping on others' toes.

One example is Singapore: their population is extremely dense, but they manage economically very well. To achieve this, however, the enclave-state is totalitarian with little tolerance for any alternate ways of life from cradle to grave.

Unless you want to live like an ant, the current population is already some orders of magnitude above what it should be to allow for natural individual freedoms.

Obesity shows us that we are a long way from full. Plenty of food being dumped in the sea and regional areas calling out for population growth. The lies of those arguing overpopulation has been swallowed by the masses.

Dear Runner,

"Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."

[Matthew 4:1-4]

Yes we still have plenty of bread (though some problems in getting it to everywhere where it is needed), but the spirit is being choked.

Don't you find the persecution of Christian bakers on grounds of "anti-discrimination" a sign that there are too many of us around?

Homosexuality too, like it or not, is increased as a natural/genetic response to population density.
Abortions too, like them or not, are more frequent as a result of having less space and other resources to accommodate a new baby.

Nay, we have only little wilderness left. At the time of Jesus, it was common for spiritual seekers to leave their town or village and easily find an isolated spot where they could sit uninterrupted, fast and otherwise purify their mind for 40 days. Now with all the people around and the technology that is required to maintain them, including drones, GPS and constant short-wave electromagnetic contamination, where would the Spirit find enough such spiritual refuges?

Overpopulation results in congestion - not just physical traffic, but also an overwhelming amount of stimuli and temptations, that much that we have much less time left for religion and spirit.

What else is needed to convince you that God's blessing, "be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth" has served its course successfully, has now been fulfilled and can be safely ticked off and placed in the "WELL DONE" basket?
