If you guesstimate the number of human beings who ever existed, including those who have been born, who died in childbirth or as infants; who naturally miscarried, were intentionally aborted, and who died through the abortion pill, chemical abortifacient “contraception”, and IUDs; those who have died or been discarded through the IVF process, and those who died before before implantation into their mother’s wombs — if you add up all conceived human beings from around 80,000 years ago when evidence of personal, intellectual, creative activity indicates the beginning of human population on earth as the body-soul composite we are today — you end up with a guesstimated population of around 200 billion (150 to 220 according to Grok). Today there’s only a little more than 8 billion people walking the earth. We represent approximately 4% of all human beings.

.

From a Catholic Christian perspective, this points to an estimated 96% of human beings currently as disembodied souls, awaiting the resurrection at the end of history. Some are in Heaven, some in Hell, and some are in a temporary state of purgation. There may or may not be a state of natural happiness (as opposed to supernatural bliss) for unbaptized infants that were too immature to respond to grace.

So keep in mind, we are the real minority, the small percentage of people who are currently living on earth. And we do so for a very short period of time.
