Unfortunately a population will expand to use up the food supply.  God 
invented Death, or perhaps the Devil did, but humans did not.  Actually, if 
God invented reproduction and only later figured out that some sort of 
termination was needed, he sure wasn't thinking ahead.  I do believe he'd 
already invented the killing machines, the cats, the dogs, the birds of 
prey, back in the Garden.  Some people forget that you need death to balance 
life.  We have got a batch of poultry that are gradually being whittled down 
for the freezer, not nice to kill them but the moms love setting eggs, we 
enjoy the babies, and then into the freezer so we can get through the winter 
with a reasonable population  and start over next year.  That's what life is 
all about.  It's incredible, and then it's over. We'd all best enjoy it.
