Overpopulation?

I never thought that, but I was hoping that your opinions might have been informed by facts. Thank you for correcting my misunderstanding on that point.


Provision... through prayer?

Your memory is slipping, provision through tithing.

So God will provide food if people give their church money to buy it? Is that what you're getting at?

 

[Jose Fly]

Rarely do they actually regulate themselves, more often they are controlled by density mediated phenomena that are "outside."

Well you're kind of splitting hairs there. When we say "regulate themselves", we're referring to factors other than direct human intervention.

I can see your view, but keep in mind that differentiation between intrinsic and extrinsic factors has significant implications, if only in an evolutionary sense, as does differentiation between density dependent and density independent factors.

No. Trusting Jesus is enough to not starve:

Read Matthew 6 for more.

If we look through history, how many times do you think we'll find examples of people who trusted Jesus but starved anyway?

Well, as long as you can simply believe that anyone who starved didn't really trust Jesus there's no problem.
Once one has divorced their worldview and beliefs from evidence and reason, one can believe almost anything.

That still doesn't get you to any verifiable cases of it actually happening that "trust in Jesus" worked as a substitute for food.

 

[Truly Enlightened]

I wouldn't worry, when our population reaches over 12 Billion people, those verifiably trusting in Jesus will still be in the majority starving. Don

I already mentioned one: the Munster Rebellion.

Now it's your turn: give a verifiable example of someone who used "trust in Jesus" as a substitute for food but didn't starve.

I'll take this to mean that you can't actually give an example.
