Consumption related culture

In the beginning, God created perfect man.

Just center on that for a second
Perfect man, God in flesh, the only perfect replica

Immortal, disease free
LOW MANTAINENCE
God wanted one like him to share the wonder of creation with. To teach everything. Imagine how much you could achieve
Then man wanted other humans......first mistake
I want to remind you that it wasn't god's original plan to make companionship
but he made woman. To satisfy man's desire for companionship
And I propose that having that companionship was addictive in and of itself
lets continue
So man and woman are happy in the garden. But then satan comes along and tempts the woman
Now I know this is sexist, but here is my down low on satan going for the woman, I will remind you first that there is no other sin in the garden, no way to break down and rationalize much, unless you could appeal to emotional, and physical desires. So tempting the man would be a tougher job, at least as far as breaking down his reasoning and convincing him logically to eat the apple. So the snake knew that convincing emotionally was easier, and it would be easiest on a female who is not as logic based as man. Now they get kicked out of the garden. Suddenly, no longer immortal, those old drives kick back in and they start kicking out babies LIKE CRAZY. As much as is humanly possible to support alive. Not many diseases around to target the HUMAN nervious system, so man lived much longer. So lets say the original ratio was 5 to 1, meaning one adult supports five kids, and at least partially a spouse, more accurately from a labor standpoint it only works as 10 to 2. and it's usually much more for men, have to say, because mongamy hadn't been invented. Somewhere around abraham's time people figured out how to become independantly wealthy. Now I'm not talking about Gold, I'm talking about so wealthy they could swell their offspring into hundreds, probably thousands, simply by good investment policy (lets ignore war in this)
Now, fast waaaaay forward to modern era. Modern industry and business figures out how to profit from this arrangement, they reduce the working ratio down to 3 to one at best. that's 6 to 2 in our modern way of looking at things. Now they use those resources that men would normally put into more offspring into feeding industry, when slavery failed they realized that it would still be built on the back of people, but in a more stealthy way. By robbing each man of the ability to have more children, slowly but surely family size diminshed. Then somehow economic plague TOOK over, things like divorce, debt, foreclosure and other wealth damaging plague broke out, thanks to modern banking. Meaning that companionship, and consumption, bodily pleasure has sucked away our vital ability to provide. A single man can grow so much more wealthy than a man with a family, because he eats less, spends less, and earns more into the bargain. Furthermore a man who makes mistakes (marrying the wrong woman, ESPECIALLY HAVING KIDS WITH HER, and letting her know where he keeps the valuables.) will be completely an indentured servant to them for all his productive days.
This is my hypothosis, and no, I can never provide any proof
