Questions

These have been puzzling me...

What is the estimated number of people that have died since the beginning of time?

If God punished Eve and all of the women on the planet with painful child birth, what would child birth have been like for women? Would women have had babies at all?

Did Adam and Eve have sexual relations before the fall? Did they even have genitalia?

When Jonah was inside the whale's belly do you think there were other living things in there with him like giant squid and living fish?

How many babies has the world aborted?

How many of those babies could have possibly found a cure for AIDS? How many could have been the next Mozart, Beethoven, or Da Vinci?

At what point will we look back and say wow, we killed a lot of children? 1 Billion? 2 Billion?

Will we ever look back at abortion and think/realize we made a mistake the same way we looked at slavery and realized that we made a mistake?

Will the world ever reach a point where the majority of people are in same-sex relationships and only a handful of people are procreating? How long will it take for America to become the next Sodom and Gomorrah?

I think America has already gone past Sodom and Gomorrah, Eddo.

God help us.

we will go much further - God will not pull us back this time.

No, this time, i think we will see our empires break down utterly and completely. Its a scary thought.

I've heard it said that it's fewer people than are alive today. Don't know how they worked that out though.

I can't even talk about abortion because it grieves my heart so much...

I can't answer your questions, but I will indirectly comment on one issue. My mother always said that if God had really intended to limit the population of the earth he would have arranged it so that the male would have to give birth to every other baby. In this manner no family would ever have more than three children and many would be limited to two.

(clarify, in case "every other" is not clear to those younger than I, there would be a rotation, female have baby, male have baby, female have baby....... No more babies.

When you find out the answers, let us know. I've wondered about #1 myself; maybe it's time to let my trusty Google look into for me.

Hmm. Those ARE puzzling questions, Eddo. Why did you initially begin pondering them?

Lots of excellent questions, and the answers are too horrid to contemplate.
