@EliteDoomer The "end of oil"?? First of all there is no "end of oil", nature is constantly producing more oil, and there are many countless oil reserves found in this country. My own state of Pennsylvania is sitting on the largest natural gas reserve in the world and guess what is under that gas?? OIL!! Oil in the middle east, oil in the ocean, oil in alaska and Oil throughout the U.S. It is everywhere. If anything is going to bring hell on earth it is these oil corporations.

Malthus was just another cleric copying the draconian nonsense of the jesuits. The FIRST Malthusian (long before Malthus) was the jesuit Giovanni Botero. An expose of this fact and a short critque of Malthusian (Boteroarian) theory can be found at the Ludwig von Mises Institute website in an article written by the great Murray Rothbard.

@MGGoblin The only way you can explain the evolution of many species simultanously before any stress or shock, it's by pointing that 1- Life is not a struggle, (only occasionaly) 2- Life adapts itself INTELLIGENTLY to changes, (you don't come up with a new eye by accident).
