Yesterday, somewhere, I heard of someone, rather prestigious, if my memory serves me, say that there are too many people, and the world cannot support this endlessly increasing population.
Origen, a distinguished member of the early Christian church, thought we are the fallen angels, and this life is our opportunity to regain paradise. Suppose he was right. Then we may expect that the world will not run out of food, water, or whatever else, until every one of these souls has been born into this life.
Of course, Origen may have been wrong. In any event, God has a plan, and nothing is going to interfere with its implementation, which is not to suggest that a prudent use of our resources is always appropriate.
A better idea, than limiting population, might be to concentrate on distributing what is available in a more equitable manner.
