Perhaps A & Es' sin was a blessing

[Skwim]

Consider.

1) It is estimated that 106,456,367,669 people have lived on Earth.*

2) The world has a land area of 57,308,738 Square Miles**

3) this means that that there would be 1,867 people for every square mile.

4) right now, with a world population of 6.93 billion,*** there are about 122 people for every square mile.

5) This means that had A & E not eaten the apple, no one would have died, and today there would be 15 times as many people on Earth.

Think this would be all that desirable; 1,867 people for every square mile versus 122 people for every square mile?

Well, God could have just not said, "Go forth and multiply," and it would have been a lot easier.

You think that is bad, consider the crime rate. In the creationists beginning it was 25%, its far lower than that now. If the crime rate would've stayed the same, it would be overpopulated and a rough neighborhood.

But there was no decree from god that there would be a set crime rate.

Of course not, but seeing how one in four was a murderer...

Means what . . . that there will always be one person in four who will murder?

Skwim,
Where in the world do you get your information? My source tells me that there have been alive on earth less than 25 Billion people. This means that about 25% of all people who have ever lived are alive today.
When God gave Adam and Eve the mandate to multiply and fill the earth, notice that God said FILL THE EARTH, not overfill it, Gen 1:28. God could have stopped reproduction at any time that He knew was enough. Incidentally, that is exactly what He will do when the earth is filled to His satisfaction, during the Thousand Year Judgement Day, which is due to begin in a very short time, Rev 20:1-6.
Just as Job said: Who are we to be questioning God, Jehovah, who is perfect in knowledge, Job 40:2, 36:4,37:5,16, Isa 55:8,9.

Not taking into account land needed for food production, I'm sure.

Also not taking into account agriculture.

Depends on how structures are considered. If every populated area were similar to New York City, you could have almost 27,000 people per square mile. Who knows if there's enough area to accommodate that many people with foodstuffs. I'm sure if the population centers were in areas where land could not be cultivated, then probably. I find this reason as more evidence for human's natural evolution than as being divinely inspired.

I posted my sources right in the OP; however, I'll give them to you again.

Why would you think that? God could also prevent all kinds of calamity, strife, and suffering if he wished, but he doesn't . Nope, considering how he's let the world go to hell when he could have prevented it, I don't think he gives one hoot about reproduction. I think we're just fortunate that A&E did eat that apple.

Incidentally, that is exactly what He will do when the earth is filled to His satisfaction, during the Thousand Year Judgement Day, which is due to begin in a very short time, Rev 20:1-6.

Looked up Rev 20:1-6 and didn't see a thing about waiting until "the earth is filled to His satisfaction." Seems like you're taking a lot of liberty with your reading here. Not that I don't understand your motive, but is this really what a good Christian should be doing?
