A lot of people are saying that marriage doesn't matter for children of general family live. Wel if that's the case, why is fertility way down for most (if not all) countries where the marriage rate tanked...?

The answer is simple:
When the chief pairbonding mechanism fails, the bonding fails also. There was a reason why marriage was pushed in the past. They broke the social/religious contract and with it the core of society.

I did know the internet reached far and wide but I did not know it reached back in time.

So how's having the internet in the 19th century feels? Cause based on your conservative beliefs it's at best the 19th century when you are typing that message.

I don't even know where to begin so I'll just cut to the main point and let you know that fertility rates and marriage have nothing to do with each other. As an example I'll quote Japan where the marriage institution is deeply rooted in social life, yet their fertility rate is plummeting worse than the relevancy of your statement.
