Ah, so it's all about the money for you... got it.
I know enough about human nature to know that many people who left an industrial job that payed 6 times as much as a waiter job might not be happy with the change. But I understand your point, all must 'take one for the team, like it or not'
I agree that the rich should share with others, but the devil is in the details.

I have yet to see anyone make a case here that shows it is a success.

The very fact that we're attempting it is proof of mankind's success.

Thank you for your prophesy about the glory and wonder and power of sinful men.

You're welcome. I learned long ago that it's far better to commend people for the good that they do, then to chastise them for the bad. They're far more likely to listen to you that way.

The Manson crowd might have tried to kill more people. That would not have meant they had good success.

It was tongue in cheek. I actually do not like false prophesy that opposes the bible.

Trust me, I got the sarcasm.

Let's be perfectly clear on this, what you actually mean is that you don't like anyone that opposes you. Which literally means absolutely everybody else.

I previously mentioned Isaac Newton, because he actually spent more time studying the bible than he did studying physics, and his take on the antichrist is completely different from yours. But I assume that he must be wrong, because you're infallible.

No, I meant that I do not countenance direct anti Christ prophesy.
Which literally means absolutely everybody else.
As much as you may think the whole world but me embraces your false prophesy, I don't buy it for a moment
Hopefully Isaac has enough brains to not oppose bible prophesy. Since you provided no details I assume he probably did

Well, for one thing he believed that the Papacy/Catholic Church was the Antichrist. But then again he wasn't a very smart guy, and he only spent his entire life studying it, so in comparison to your infallibility he's obviously unqualified to speak on the subject.

God is unlimited. Even now the problem is not limited resources but misuse due to sin
The problem is the limited resources. Earth cannot sustain unlimited population growth and to keep all the nature, animals, ecosystem intact.

Yet we can travel for miles without seeing anyone in some places.
Yes, for example in deserts or in unending crop fields. Cool.

In other places, you will see people living like sardines in a can. Average that out.

I never expressed an opinion on the papacy. Try to be honest

As long as Christ is rejected then the world is heading for disaster one way or another.

I agree, didn't those who built the tower of Babel want to do the same kind of thing & escape God.

In Jewish and Christian tradition, Nimrod is often associated with the leadership of those who built the Tower of Babel. While the Bible doesn't explicitly name him, these traditions connect Nimrod, who ruled over Babel and other cities in Shinar, to the building of the tower. Josephus and later Jewish sources, including the Talmud, also attribute the initiative to Nimrod.

Yes, it can. He can change things. But if you were correct and we were nearing a point where the world could not sustain it, no problem at all. That would just mean His return is very soon. He made the universe and the planet in a day. So if more space were needed He can do that easily without breaking a sweat. If He needed to make the planet itself grow to accommodate children He sent, He could do that too!

He will turn deserts into wonderful gardens. No problem at all. The whole Chicken Little act some fearful billionaires are pulling is in vain.

See above. Paradise is actually the plan for earth with absolute abundance for all and more space than we can ever dream of.

Where to even start... for example, Genesis 1 is a mythological drama, it is not a literal history.

Here we go again
Yes, it is exhausting. So many US Christians have so little knowledge about what the Bible even is, what it is composed of, how it came to be, what does it really say, whom it was written to, when etc.

Gen 1 is literal history, not some myth.
Nah. There are no cosmic primordial waters, no firmament, no waters above the firmament, stars are not in the firmament etc.

There is even no point in discussing it, I do not care if you believe it. To each its own. However, all your reasoning based upon its literal reading is automatically invalidated.

Have you been to the other side of the universe and beyond? The waters above where the stars are are out of your ability to confirm or deny.
no firmament,
That is space where the stars are. It is there.
no waters above the firmament, stars are not in the firmament etc.
Yes stars are in space and there are or were waters above space.

You are overruled. Whether you go off topic here and discuss it or not will change nothing.

As I expected, you are not even reading the Genesis 1 text properly. One can claim it is literal only when he is a flat earther or when he does not understand what the text says.

I can see why you are vague. There is nothing about a flat earth in Genesis or anywhere else. And you do not seem to know what was said in Gen 1.
