Blood Fractions - following quote from the Reasoning Book
by insearchoftruth inwhen i asked the elder about blood fractions he said that they are allowed because the bible does not speak directly to fractions....well if the bible does not speak directly to fractions, upon what did they base the below statement in the reasoning from the scriptures book....... .

but i guess with the potential growth in the global south, there is still hope for wts growth....world population projected to reach 7 billion in 2011story highlights global population to reach 7 billion in two years, research institute projectsmost growth is occurring in developing and poor nations, study findsuganda's population expected to almost triple by 2050india projected to overtake china as most populous countrywashington (cnn) -- the world's population is forecast to hit 7 billion in 2011, the vast majority of its growth coming in developing and, in many cases, the poorest nations, a report released wednesday said.. a staggering 97 percent of global growth over the next 40 years will happen in asia, africa, latin america and the caribbean, according to the population reference bureau's 2009 world population data sheet.. "the great bulk of today's 1.2 billion youth -- nearly 90 percent -- are in developing countries," said carl haub, a co-author of the report.
eight in 10 of those youth live in africa and asia.. "during the next few decades, these young people will most likely continue the current trend of moving from rural areas to cities in search of education and training opportunities, gainful employment, and adequate health care," haub continued, calling it one of the major social questions of the next few decades.. in the developed world, the united states and canada will account for most of the growth -- half from immigration and half from a natural increase in the population -- births minus deaths, according to the report.. high fertility rates and a young population base in the developing world will fuel most of the growth, especially in africa, where women often give birth to six or seven children over a lifetime, the report says.
