Intelligent Design and Divine Intervention

A few months ago I read a clip in a newspaper (it had to be the St. Petersburg Times or the Tampa Tribune and was most likely from The Associated Press) that by the year 2025 world population will decline.

It sounded more like trivia, if future speculation can carry that distinction, because there were no specific reasons or causes for the claim. I suspect that disease, famine and internal political and military confrontations may bring death tolls to such a height that it results in this drastic turn of events.

Much of this will most likely occur in third world, undeveloped countries. The alarming probabilities of such an occurrence put the lives of peoples in Africa at risk. And the reason for allowing these possibilities to be put in motion? You can pretty much expect the lack of humanitarianism will continue to be overshadows with super power nations continuing to find just cause to direct their moneys and military allocations to put influence on selfish interests. An ongoing undeclarable war on the broad range of a variety of sources of terrorism will be forefront. Directing attention to claim national rights to energy and food sources may be another, probably by means of military occupations.

There is less likelihood that populations of China, India and other developing countries will be in decline. They already have more than 40% of the world population.

A third case scenario of population decline worldwide would be natural disasters. Global warming and resultant rising seas and fierce weather conditions may be in the making. Forecasts have indicated adverse weather patterns will increase during the next ten to fifteen years with typhoons, hurricanes, flooding, record high temperatures and oddities such as record low temperatures, snow and ice storms will claim thousands, if not tens of thousands, of lives.

Heat strokes and hypothermia, from insufficient means for people to keep up with the rising costs of energy to heat their homes, are contrasting results of global warming but their already happening in various parts of the planet. The projected time span of events indicates the conditions to worsen between the years 2020 and 2030, with the year 2025 smack dab in the middle.

You might think that the majority of people whose lives may be in danger for one reason or other would limit the overall economic effects of a declining population, yet countries and corporate interests were pointedly given consideration in the article. Therefore, their also may be another scenario that specifically puts hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of middle and upper class people as targets of nuclear annihilation.

I imagine there will be a number of causes for a world with less people. Perhaps this will be a means of cleansing the planet, giving rise to international congruency for a more peaceful, integrated ideology of coexistence. Perhaps this will be the natural order of mankind’s evolution of awareness and acceptance to resolve man’s abuse and overuse of Earth’s resources.

Human beings are complex, fragile carbon-based creatures as are all living organisms. Planet Earth is also a fragile life-sustaining host. Both planet and man are reliant on the forces of nature: sun, water, vegetation and minerals. A balance of resources is necessary to maintain the food chain for survival. Disrespect of natural resources will eventually create a devastating toll on humanity and that hour of truth will soon be upon us.

We should give praise to the scientific community for making us aware of the burgeoning situations confronting the existence of both man and planet. We should also give thanks to the appointed messenger, Al Gore.

I am not suggesting all of this is of Intelligent Design, but it may take Divine Intervention to see us safely through these troublesome times.

God, Save The World.
