If human population increases at the current rate – and we colonize other planets at light speed, humans will still all die this millennium.

“Even if we expanded our domain at the speed of light – a pretty safe theoretical upper limit – and managed to colonize all available stars and planets within a sphere expanding at light speed, then, increasing our population at 2 percent per year, we will still run out of room and perish in our own wastes within the next millennium.”

I was watching a Christian debate an atheist on TV recently. The Christian was against contraception on the grounds that it says in the bible ‘that we should fill the earth with all God’s glory’. Unfortunately the result of the attempt would either be an extinct earth filled with filth, or continuous war. Perhaps that’s what a glory hole is.

Make love with condoms, not war.
