And let's not even talk about the atoms that make up DNA. You have to reach to ignore God's work.
Not chance, evolution.

This is the nightmare i'm talking about. I have being stuck in traffic jams as it is with 6 billion people. 100 billion? They'll be packed tighter than sardines in a can. This is the description of hell, and i want no part in it.

The Earth can't sustain 6 billion today, and with the current rate of environmental degradation due to human activity, it will be able to sustain far fewer in the future.

I have to agree with you, who would want to live on a paved over planet with 100 Billion Emen? It's like Yogi Berra once said: Nobody goes to that restaurant any more; its too crowded!

You are thinking about the earth under man's management. With God in the equation the earth could easily sustain even more people. Plus there will be no wars, etc so our attention will be on living in peace and subduing the earth. The average family could live on an acre. Then there is the ocean bottom. Plenty of room on earth.

Actually, God is pure magic, evolution is pure science. Evolution explains how complex structures like eyeballs came to exist. The God theory just states "Poof, your an asshole" and you have the spontaneous generation of assholes. No explanation given...

With the God PFM Theory we could sustain an infinite number of people on the head of a pin! Of course then we would all be pin heads

Yet all of the forces just happened for you. That is not logical or scientific. All of the order and systems. How can you attribute all of it to chance? Yours is the magic.
