Kind of irrelevant considering we're at the point where either the Antichrist comes, which means this is the end anyway, or else mankind is hit by calamities and dies off in huge numbers, after which everything will be changed.
O.k., we all know the end of the world is coming (some day), but until then we're still supposed to be fruitful and mutliply.
Are we closer to the end of the world, than we were two thousand years ago? Yes!
Of course we are, because someday it has to end.
However, there is no reason to think that end is immiment, just because European breeding rates have declined. IT ISN'T THE FIRST TIME! Hence, it can change and does!
So, my advice is: relax, have lots of babies, it will be o.k. and if it isn't, it won't matter anyway, because you'll be that much closer to spending eternity with Christ.
On the other hand, considering that 2/3rds of full time workers earn less than 40k per year and hence, find it very difficult to support a family on their own, it isn't surprising that lots of people aren't getting married and having kids. That is a tragedy, but our culture keeps trying to call it "progess," because that covers for the extremely unfair distribution of wealth.
