When we can create more...Yes, it would temporarily. When we can create more food to feed more people then more people can survive. But, you're only delaying the inevitable. <br /><br />But, unless you have infinite resources (we can't create anything out of nothing, just rearrange existing things) you'll eventually hit the wall. Even the whole universe doesn't and never will contain infinite resources. And you're forgetting not just food, but the other resources we need to to grow it, workers, water, land for the crops, even if you had machines do it, they'd still need energy and people who knew how to program and repair them.<br /><br />Even if people didn't need to eat drink ,sleep or need shelter, but could reproduce we'd eventually run out of space.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
