Uh, Robert...correct me if I'm wrong here, please, but are you saying, in this thread, that having lots of children is better, in some way, than not having very many? In other words, are you suggesting that the number of offspring is a measure of the success of a person? Are you also saying that a person (or, by extention, any of god's creatures) that has many offspring is, in a certain sense, more successful than his or her neighbor who has very few children? The whole "full-quiver" thing sounds pretty familiar to me.
If this is really the argument you're making, please let me know, because I'll send you references from a few scientists who have a similar opinion about the value of offspring. That way, you could bolster your argument by using scientific data that accords with your faith-guided approach.
