Apparently he didn't take into account of the Mormons. As religion, it has a direct impact on the number of births of the people within that religion. Because Mormons have this thing about "multiply and replenish the earth". Personally i don't think the earth needs any more replenishment.

This does become a lot more meaningful if you add "with people of our group/faith/culture/etc"

But that includes the baptising of people who have been dead for decades so they have already multiplied their flock and replenished the earth in the form of compost.

is that in scripture? I'm not one to quote scripture, but apparently number 28 listed here. ( http://www.lds.org/scriptures/ot/gen/1.28?lang=eng ) is where they get it from, or so is my guess.

Google image search, "mormon family" as your keywords. They're all huge in size. On a side note, my father in law, one of the most devote mormon's you'd ever meet, has 98 grandchildren.
