Because people are living longer, fewer babies are dying and fertility has been extended far beyond what it was even a century ago.

That's not what I mean at all. Not talking about physically, but metaphysically.

Because, from standpoint of eternity, and very low to none level of human progression through the physical plane of the physical world, aka Earth, that number is miniscule, actually. It only shows, how little humans learn during their physical existence. Hence, the progression rate is very low, what keeps putting humans back on Earth again and again and again.

Metaphysics has nothing to do with population size. Birth rates vs death rates take care of it.

Why look for a metaphysical explanation when the question has been adequately answered by physical means in post 4?

Maybe the poster is asking because the title of this forum would indicate this is a place where asking for that type of explanation would be appropriate.
