For us, we have been on an exponential increase and this seems "unnatural", no?  Maybe we are not yet the "goal product" of evolution and we are foiling God's plan by allowing the weak to live? 

I was under the impression that our exponential increase started with the agricultural revolution, 10,000 years ago. Prior to that time, humans were hunter-gatherers, living in balance with nature. But, once we were able to produce our own food, we started having more offspring, growing more food, having even more offspring, etc.
As a scientist, I am hostile to fundamentalist religion because it actively debauches the scientific enterprise. It teaches us not to change our minds, and not to want to know exciting things that are available to be known. It subverts science and saps the intellect. - Dawkins
