Do you believe that every so often their are plagues and wars just to lower the population???

If you believe in Noahs ark (I don't) or ice ages or stuff like that do you think their are mass exterminations just in order to keep the population low so life will be able to exist???

I believe that this is plossible what do you think?

    yes, there is actually some long ago philosopher who says the same thing, that natural disasters are necessary to preserve life on earth, and the quality of life on earth. otherwise we would over populate and use up all the earth's resources as we are doing now, since procreation naturally endlessly increases population exponentially. and people will just die a much slower and more painful death.

    Im not sure about that noahs ark thing either.Really there is no way he could have could have collected two of every animal enough to repopulate, come on now. But with all the building,mining, and other junk we do, maybe mother nature is trying to squash some of us out once in a while so she can survive. Besides with all the wars we have and deseases we get and also give to each other the population wont be on the rise for too much longer, if we dont start being more careful.

    Yes. And I also believe that the Government in the US withholds important medical breakthroughs and discoveries for cures of certain diseases. I've heard on a few ocassions that there's a cure for cancer, but if it would be released, researchers, doctors, and basically most of the healthcare industry would lose too much money if cancer was cured. And the "bonus" is that it's population control. It's a horrible practice, if you ask me.
