    Think about the following:

    In the medieval ages, people were popping out 5-10 children on average. Chuld mortality was extremely high, with roughly 80% of children dying before they were 5 y/o.

    Now, what should god do (if they existed)? Let the children life and cause overpopulation, which leads to famine and disaster, or kill a lot of children? There’s literally no solution.

    That was until contraceptives were found. And interestingly, contraceptives exist at roughly the same time that antibiotics exist, thus preventing both high child-mortality and overpopulation.

      Funny ideas but completely wrong. Contraceptives existed throughout the human history. And antibiotics were discovered a bit later than Haber dealt with overpopulation problem.
