The Phenomenon of Overpopulation within the Jewish People
Journal Title: Dialogo - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Overpopulation is a theory that states that the total number of the inhabitants of the world, which is continuously growing, is very high while the resources of the earth are not enough to sustain and feed so many human beings. The continuous growth of the population is seen today, by those who mathematically calculate the world and completely disregard God’s presence and work in it, as one of the leading causes that generate environmental problems such as climatic changes, deforestation, a decrease in water resources, etc. If we accepted the reality of the world’s overpopulation as well as the impossibility of offering enough food to the inhabitants of the world, this would impose implementing specific world laws to control the total number of the inhabitants. Overpopulation is seen as one of the most significant current world issues, but from an Orthodox perspective, this theory of the contemporary man has got these abilities because he parted with God and completely ignores the Creator’s providence towards His creation.
