"As things are moving today, the logical conclusion is a global suicide.

"There is only one hope: that life does not follow logic, that it is irrational. If it was rational, mathematical and logical, then you could not give more than twenty years to life on this earth.

"The reasons are five:

"First, the nuclear weapons are piling up every day. Right now, only five countries are nuclear powers. Within twenty years, twenty-five more countries will have joined the nuclear club. Thirty countries will have nuclear weapons. Already we have so much nuclear power that the whole earth can be destroyed seven times. And this will show you the insanity of man. Now what is the point of piling up more and more nuclear weapons?

"Everybody is not a Jesus Christ, and everybody is not going to be resurrected again and again and again – seven times. The truth is, even Jesus himself was never resurrected, because in the first place he never died.

"Just the other day the prime minister of the Soviet Union, Gorbachev, said, 'It is not possible to calculate how much destructive energy is already available.' Just one submarine – and there are thousands of submarines moving underwater carrying nuclear weapons – just one submarine is equal to hundreds of second world wars. So the first problem is nuclear weapons.

"The second problem is the immense rate of population growth. By the end of this century we will have seven billion people on the earth. And the earth is so heavily exploited that it cannot support that much population. Fifty percent of the population has to die simply of hunger. And just think, if fifty percent of the people die, what will be the situation of the living ones? There will be nobody even to carry their corpses to the graveyard; they will be rotting in your streets, in your neighborhood, even in your own house. The whole world will have become a vast graveyard, stinking of death.

"No effort is being made by the politicians to prevent the population growth. On the contrary, a few rich countries of the West, for example Germany – where people are intelligent and can see that more population means more death, more population means more poverty, more population means more disease – have stopped producing children."
