10. Then the theory should not part of public policy debate

If something cannot be scientifically proven, it properly belongs to the realm of religion. As such, we should not be pursuing one particular policy or another based upon the notion that Malthusian theory is "correct". To do so would be akin to cutting off funding to education on the basis that world is going to end on December 21, 2012.
