I don't see why you think htis is contrary. Indeed, your proposal of using "Education" as the primay factor doesn't explain the difference in birth rates between educated Americans and educated Europeans. Of course, some other factor is naturally at work in the non-Western civilizations of Africa and Asia, but the existence of that factor doesn't affect in any way the ability of my proposal to explain the difference in birth rates *within* Western Civilization.
