, 20:02, August 18, 2013→Hubris of Man: This "if" has never occurred and never would occur, because man has always been able to produce more than he needs to consume
==Hubris of Man==

I find [http://conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Biblical_scientific_foreknowledge&action=historysubmit&diff=1064278&oldid=1064268 this edit] to be rather troubling. It is important to note that there are many acts of devine intervention or power described in the Bible, that will always be beyond human technology. While it is nice to observe that some items described in the Bible foresaw subsequent technological developments, the Bible does not predict that '''all''' things described in it will ultimately become possible through advances in human technology. Nor is it valid to re-translate the Bible to add technological predictions. Finally, if the human population of the earth grows faster than the ability to produce food, as a matter of mathematics and logic, a point will be reached in the future when the population will exceed the ability of the earth to feed it. This is not a liberal vs. conservative issue, just mathematics. While birth control and the AIDS epidemic have trimmed the population growth curve, the problem exists over the very long term. Let's show some humility and acknowledge the limitations of human technology. Man should not aspire to hold all of the powers of God. 14:16, 18 August 2013 (EDT)

:The fallacy is in the "if": "if the human population of the earth grows faster than the ability to produce food." This "if" has never occurred and never would occur, because man has always been able to produce more than he needs to consume.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 16:02, 18 August 2013 (EDT)
