Of course the bible isn't literal, but it dont stop people from picking and choosing what to follow to the letter anyway.

You may say "Something is at an all time high" but thats bias. The world population is higher than its ever been, and less people are fighting in the middle of nowhere

the population. Nothing in the quoted text hasn't been happening in perpetuity since Man showed up on this earth.
