1) Overpopulation in not determinated by numbers, but resources, and how we manage and distribute them.
2) In fact, in the ancient and middle ages, there was overpopulation (that caused poverty and hunger),
BUT had 90% fewer people than today. It is not about numbers. This had changed a lot, and we are a lot more.
3) You can say that poverty exists because of overpopulation, but in
terms of percentile,
there is less poverty today than ever before in our history.4) Population growth is a proof of abundance, blessing, fertility... signals that we are ok.
Our age is not perfect, but we live better than in the past, even with a lot more people.5) The population is stabilizing. When we conquer space, we can grow even more.
6) Essential natural resources of the earth for human beings are renewable. They do not end so easily.
7) Earth and its resources are limitated, but Universe is infinite.
8) Population growth motivates us to create ecological energy resources.
9)
Somes countries DO have overpopulation, but are not about resources, but political and economical issues.More information:

And, do asteroids provide clean water, food, waste disposal... ?
Yes, they can provide it and more. In fact, they are the "raw material" of earth. Water is very common compound in space, specially in comets and moons. There's a lot of minerals, ferric material, and more! in space.
They can provide that is escential to cultivate tissues that we can eat.Nature destroys itself. We're just a scratch to it, compared to NATURAL desasters.
It is curious that people who hate humanity does not begin extinguishing themselves. Pure hypocrisy.Think about it.
