Over Populated?

The secular media has told us for years that the world was over populated. That is not true. I have recently watched a revealing documentary entitled Demographic Winter: The Decline of the Human Family. This film documents how the population will actually be in a fast decline within the next 50 years. Population replacement rates are 2.1....that means each couple needs to have 2.1 children to replace themselves. Several European countries fall far below that rate and are now seeing the results of what having fewer children born means to a country. Fewer children today means fewer workers tomorrow, fewer tax payers, fewer care givers for the aging baby boomers. Many demographers were interviewed in the documentary and one particular man stands out in my mind. He paints a pretty bleak picture and notes that the only people who are having chlldren are Christians, Jews and Muslims. He himself only has one child...and that by adoption. He is not a man of faith, but says that what he is seeing in regards to the population may lead him to faith. It is very haunting and I think everyone should see this.
