Tesla billionaire Elon Musk has blamed birth control and abortions for the impending \u2018collapse\u2019 of civilisation.
\nAccording to the Telegraph<\/b><\/a>, the Tech tycoon said that procreation has been \u2018subverted\u2019 by modern methods of contraception. Adding, that \u2018limbic instinct\u2019 can be satisfied without it.<\/p>\n

He said: \u2018Once you have birth control and abortions and whatnot, now you can still satisfy the limbic instinct but not procreate.\u2019<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mr Musk also said he was worried that if not enough people are born to sustain population numbers, civilisation is going to crumble.
\nThe billonaire described it as \u2018the biggest danger to humanity – exceeding climate change\u2019.<\/p>\n

Unsustainable<\/h2>\n

Daniel, Lord Hannan, writing in the Daily Telegraph<\/b><\/a>, is also awake to the problem:
\n\u2018No political party will address the most immediate threat to our prosperity, though it stands in plain sight, huge and menacing. The proportion of workers to pensioners in our population is about to become unsustainable.
\n\u2018We could tackle the problem in various ways. We could raise the retirement age and impose a haircut on public-sector pension schemes. We could make deep cuts elsewhere. We could import millions of workers. Or we could have more babies.
\n\u2018In practice, we will probably end up doing a combination of these things. But only the last offers a viable long-term solution.\u2019<\/p>\n

Birth rates decline<\/h2>\n

Data from a variety of sources<\/b><\/a> including the United Nations and the World Bank indicates that the total number of live births is falling around the world, including in developing nations.<\/p>\n

Some commentators, whose intentions are obviously not Godly, and who may have been watching too many apocalyptic movies, have suggested<\/b><\/a> that the decrease in fertility rates is good news for \u2018our descendants\u2019 if there are any, who will escape gruesome deaths brought on by food shortages and starvation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In the real world, how is the current decline in birth rates or wiping out God’s creation good news to any sane human?<\/p>\n

The Bible records the Lord\u2019s repeated command to the sons of Noah:
\nGen 9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
\nGenesis 9.7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
\n“Effective medicines and access to education for women”<\/b><\/p>\n

World Economic Media on birth decline<\/h2>\n

<\/b><\/b><\/b>World Economic Media<\/b><\/a> said: \u2018In previous generations, national birth rates were high as adult populations reproduced to ensure they would be taken care of in old age, and parents frequently had many children. However, factors such as the development of what they claim are ‘more effective medicines and improved access to education’ for women may be contributing to declining fertility rates\u2019.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the term \u2018education for women\u2019 has been sold through various programmes by the United Nations and the World Health Organisation. These schemes inevitably include abortion policies and reproductive health.
\nEven more, we have elsewhere reported that the World Health Organisation(WHO) also wants to compel its 194 Member States to legalise abortion on demand up to birth. We are urging pro-life nations to stand with Scripture and demand the abortion measure be thrown out.<\/p>\n

Read the story here:
\nlegalise abortion on-demand upto birth, says WHO\u2192<\/a><\/p>\n

The Bible says,
\nGen 5:2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.<\/b>
\nAnd God told them:
\nGen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.<\/b><\/p>\n

That commandment and its repetition to the sons of Noah has never been repealed. Even in Babylon, when the people of Judah were in exile, the Lord\u2019s prophet commanded:
\nJer 29:6 Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished.<\/b><\/p>\n

Too scared to have children<\/h2>\n

Edred Whittingham, a Just Stop Oil protester told GB News<\/b><\/a> after his snooker protest he will remain childless \u2018on moral grounds given the uncertainties of climate change\u2019. He added that: \u2018It would be wrong to bring children into the world when he can\u2019t guarantee there will be a habitable planet for them to grow up in\u2019.<\/p>\n

Not having children is a form of sloth, which the Bible condemns:
\nProv 22:13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.<\/b>
\nWe must continue to pray for our young people as it is apparently not just climate fanatics like him who think along such lines. According to a global study<\/b><\/a> of 10,000 people aged 16 to 25, an astonishing 39 percent said they were hesitant to have children one day because they\u2019re so scared of climate change.<\/p>\n

Although coming from a different angle, some Christian young people may draw the same conclusion as we are \u2018in the last days\u2019. They are equally in defiance of the Biblical command.<\/p>\n

Humans are \u2018a plague\u2019<\/h2>\n

Claiming that humans are responsible for all problems in the world is as deeply-held by the elite as it is misanthropic. Sir David Attenborough<\/b><\/a> has said: \u2018Today we\u2019re living in an era in which the biggest threat to human wellbeing, to other species, and to the Earth as we know it, might well be ourselves. The issue of population size is always controversial because it touches on the most personal decisions we make. But we ignore it at our peril.\u2019<\/p>\n

Moreso, he said the only way to save \u2018the planet<\/b><\/a>\u2019 from famine and species extinction is to limit human population growth. \u2018We are a plague on the Earth. It’s coming home to roost over the next 50 years or so. It’s not just climate change; it’s sheer space, places to grow food for this enormous horde.\u2019<\/p>\n

Rob Lyons commented in Spiked-Online: \u2018Attenborough merely parrots the anti-human spirit of our times. It is Attenborough\u2019s view of humanity, not humanity itself, which is toxic.\u2019 David Attenborough is patron of \u2018Population Matters\u2019 the U.K.\u2019s largest population control trust.
\nPopulation Matters would even have humankind \u2018voluntarily\u2019 reduce our current population of seven billion by about half to save the planet. They never say how.<\/p>\n

Humans are not the problem<\/h2>\n

In his 1798 publication, \u2018An essay on the Principle of Population\u2019, Rev Thomas Malthus proposed a theory called \u201cmoral restraint,\u201d which aimed to reduce the birth rate and prevent society from exceeding, as he saw it, its ability to feed itself.
\nHowever, food production has drastically increased since Malthus’ time, making his theory obsolete, if it were ever valid. But many, like population campaigner Paul Erlich, author of the 1968 book \u2018The Population Bomb\u2019 still cling to his ideas.<\/p>\n

The global population has been steadily increasing for a long time, with around 75% of growth occurring in the past century, and over 50% of it happening since 1970. However, the United Nations predicts that population growth is likely soon to approach zero, especially in more developed countries.<\/p>\n

The primary causes of population collapse today are not war or disease, however, but social evolution, including the decline of the family and religion, as well as diminished economic opportunity and a soaring cost of living.<\/p>\n

Leave families alone<\/h2>\n

Legalising same-sex relationships and abortion programmes are all threats to population and to the family unit ordained by God.
\nIn the United Kingdom, abortion, sodomy and gross indecency were all decriminalised in 1967. They all discourage pregnancy and promoting immoral behaviour and sinful actions in the eyes of God. Fifty-six years later and \u2018gay pride\u2019 marches are prevalent throughout the UK and the government has legalised same-sex marriage and transgenderism.<\/p>\n

Christians are facing discrimination due to equality laws, and the administration is actively promoting LGBT agenda and abortion to students in schools and to nations abroad. We are truly living in the Days of Lot.<\/p>\n

In the absence of natural fecundity, only Muslim immigration and desire for children will fund UK pensions and that only in the short term. That itself brings a challenge to our Christian constitution. In practice, Christians have not just a Biblical duty, which should in itself be enough, but a moral duty to do what their bodies were designed for and have more children. The tax burden and the size of the public sector both need to reduce as well. We are not starting from a good place. But let us at least begin to recognise and pray into the challenge that faces us.
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

PRAY<\/b>: That Christians will wake up to the challenges, to the demands and commands of the Lord and take a prophetic, Biblical view of life today. Pray for the Church to become more masculine and attract more young men. May there be Christian marriages and families big enough to demand a people carrier.
\nRead: Psalm 14:4, 53:4, 64:5, 91:8, 94:2, 140:1-3, Matt 9:12; Rom 3:13.<\/b><\/p>\n
