There are more than enough resources on the planet. There are NOT enough resources for everyone to live like Europeans and Americans. But the simple fact is you don't need to live like that to be happy. I have seen families of 9 people living in a 1 bedroom apartment and happier than most Americans. Because they don't have so much stuff and they don't constantly see people who have way more than them to get jealous, or watch TV to see glamorous lifestyles that make them want more. Overpopulation is a question of WANTS not of needs.

No one is expecting this planet to be around 900 years from now.

You only have so much time to get affairs in order.

That planet will most certainly be around. The question is whether or not we will.

Exactly, but even then the planet will only be used to extract what little resources it has left used to power a new planet, so in this sense we will literally kill Earth one day or at least take it over and treat it more like a science experiment.

That already happened! The current population is the science experiment. First crop of the experiment was mostly killed in the Flood.

Yes I agree Earth has already been turned into one, but others don't -- which are the ones who believe Earth will be here another 900+ years.. -- It just won't happen until we exploit more resources somewhere in the universe..

The problem with this is only the 1% will survive, literally.
