What's really scary is that so many people actually think the apocalypse is coming, and give up all hope in their own species. There is no rational reason to believe humanity is going to end, except maybe through some collision with a near-earth asteroid or something. But we're making progress in tracking such objects and we're coming up with good deflection strategies to save ourselves.

In the long run, the solution to overpopulation is expansion...into outer space. Think about it. It's our only choice, and I think it will make for a glorious future for our species. Give up the fear-based superstitious stuff. There's no need to worry; we're incredibly smart beings, and we've thought ourselves out of lots of conundrums in the past.
