MIT Institute's Gloomy Prediction: 'Global Economic Collapse' By 2030

suraj.sun writes "A new study from researchers at Jay W. Forrester's institute at MIT says that the world could suffer from 'global economic collapse' and 'precipitous population decline' if people continue to consume the world's resources at the current pace. The study's researchers created a computing model to forecast different scenarios based on the current models of population growth and global resource consumption, different levels of agricultural productivity, birth control and environmental protection efforts. Most of the computer scenarios found population and economic growth continuing at a steady rate until about 2030. But without 'drastic measures for environmental protection,' the scenarios predict the likelihood of a population and economic crash."

The bible clearly shows that the christian god is an evil god if you bother to read the whole bible without the prejudice that god is good, therefore the evil that he clearly does in the bible must also be good.
