Here's a start:
For each human born, given current average lifespan, 72 years, how many more people will they create?, averages- roughly 80 to 100 with a 3 generation extended family.
How much water, food is consumed and impact does a 100 people living on avg of 72 years with a death ratio of 6% ?
-28,200,000 gallons of water(consumed) not used
-290,880,000 gallons of water (used) not consumed
-6768 tons (13,536,000 lbs.) of food consumed
-437,100 trees cleared and consumed
-7,050,000 miles travelled
The power to create a human life is one of the greatest responsibilities we have, it should be used and considered wisely.
Extrapolate this to the world population and it is staggering. There is a reason the term "critical mass" was coined to represent the human population once the benchmark of 4 billion was observed.
Over population is subjective to definition and a general terminology relative to opinion and perception. One can argue if resources are strained that is over population of the resource consuming species, or hyberbole to Armageddon scenario of an extinction event due to over population, or environment and resource is depleted due to over populating species. Either way its not limited or constrained to just resources, therefore impossible. Without checks and balances and predator prey scenarios, overpopulation is not only possible but probable as it has been proven time and time again in nature and human populations.

Population is constrained by resources, therefore overpopulation is not possible

I can agree. Either way, its a self correcting problem
