Not to worry. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40885541/ns/us_news-life/

According to an American Christian ministry, the rapture is definitly, without any doubt going to happen this May 21st (18 days from now). The survivors will be tortured for the following 6 months and the world(Earth) will officially cease to exist as of this October.

But it's not to late for sinners to be saved the ministry says. Commit your last day's of life to Christ and you too can be whisked up to heaven and live blissfully forever after.

This is exactly why we need to fund more birth control for all countries, and why we should probably institute a single or two child limit. We are approaching or already have passed the carrying capacity of the world. We cannot continue to grow at this rate for long, especially without drastically changing our lifestyles.

There are not enough resources to support everyone in world if they wanted to live an American lifestyle. To support 10 billion people, most people will need to become vegetarians....

Humanitarian aid keeps foiling the Earth's attempts at population control.

Time to selectively put the pill in the drinking water.
They accidentally introduced a variety of clover to pastures down here about 50 years ago. It reduced lamb % very quick. Need to do the same to people.
