If you take the time and read the list of wars and famine in history on the wikipedia site. You will see that there has been more wars fought in modern days then in the past. Same goes for famines list.

Have you considered the incredible increase in population?
7 billion now and how many when we had world wars and such- say 100 years ago? What was the population then?
I'm not sure on this, but if you bring it down to a "per capita" figure then I think you would find there is less wars and famines now than before.

Do you care about the absolute number of people in poverty, or killed in wars or whatever...
Or the proportion of the total number of people in poverty, or killed in wars ect...
If your population size quadruples, and the number of murders doubles, then the chances

effected.

Originally posted by RBHILLif the rate of war/famine is increasing in direct proportion to population growth, then there is nothing spectacular happening.
It is in general.
Originally posted by RBHILLYes you are correct. Many here will say it's only because there are more people now or we now keep better records or reporting is better. Well that is true and that is confirmed by the Bible where it says "you will hear of wars and reports of wars" and the other things it mentions such as earthquakes.
