In the dystopian future, near future, we are going to have new titles, like DONB, for Disorder of New Brunswick, and Disorder of Canada.
President Trump might qualify. I think he already has something like that from Scotland. ;-)

 

Hi Jamie

I have also a script but not for a book and is a movie if I eventually earn the $ needed from my future designs.
The story line is similar to the children story myth, "Noah's Ark" when the world in the year 2050 unfortunately was majority ruled by takers and climate science denialist.

The smaller population numbers that cared about mother earth led by a similar fictional character called Noah started to encourage his organization to build all types of water craft design that mostly folded for easy transport and could be towed by an animal if no vehicle or had solar and wind turbines to power drive the trailer axles.

The floods did come practical over night when over a single year all the ice in the world melted with out warning, civil unrest happened when the takers started to forcefully steal the givers amphibious water crafts to save them self's from the global warming they mindlessly caused.
The givers are vegetarians and peaceful people who united in large groups of the amphibious water craft like wagon trains and because of their healthy life style and considerations they are also expert in hand to hand combat and experts at making weapons from understanding science to defend them self's against the takers "walking dead"

 

Very cool. Moves the whole 'give and take' business to a whole other level. I need to get working on my own Ark, and hand-to-hand combat skills. Steak might be hard to give up on, but I've still got 34 years right? Well, perhaps not if I keep eating steak.

 

Because of the floods the meat eaters "takers" caused they quickly killed off all animals that survived and the only meat left was human flesh and started to eat each others.
The vegetarians stored enough food in their amphibious pontoons for several years and seeds to grow food on higher lands far away as possible from the then cannibals.

 

If you'll accept my advice, Jamie, I doubt most martial arts classes will teach you much of value in a real fight. They treat it as a sport and avoid full force contact. Kinda hard to shift gears from how you trained. Even lethal military training (rapid efficient kill) is considered less value than actual combat experience. Difference between green troops and bloodied veterans.

Better skills to practice are NOT BEING SEEN. Invisible in plain sight. Be inconspicuous. Blend in. Appear common, average. And if you are seen, noticed, then you want to be recognized as another predator, not a potential victim. Predators don't want a fight, preferring to intimidate and win without cost to themselves.

Read up on how to walk point. Then ALWAYS walk point. Practice improves proficiency. Predators will recognize that hunter's awareness and avoid you.

The number one principle, is never fight on the enemies terms, if avoidable. Escape is the correct tactic. If you have to fight, then you pick the time and place.

There is a ton of stuff written by veterans.

Sea level rise geologist Peter Harlem dies, leaving detailed impact on Florida

RPeter Harlem, who spoke out for awareness of sea level rise, has died at 67
FIU geologist’s LiDAR maps showed that 97 percent of South Florida will be underwater by 2159
Harlem’s revelations on sea level rise were featured in publications from Rolling Stone to New York Times
“Peter had such an even keel of a personality he could deal with different questions and provide a straightforward, simple explanation of why the world works and why it works in terms of sea level rise,” said Ben Kirtman, director of the Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies at the University of Miami, Rosenstiel School for Marine and Atmospheric Science.
“The work he did using LiDAR was profound stuff when he first started doing that in terms of tipping public opinion on the real threat of sea level rise. That was a profound contribution to society,” Kirtman said.
The man who helped explain science in a way lay people could understand got his start at the University of Miami in 1968.

As the list of scientists who agree man-made climate change is real continues to grow, there is still a small, but vocal group who deny the phenomenon.

68,69 Yo, that was about the same time I drank farewell with a few U.S. military friends of mine who were posted out of the Stephenville Pine Tree radar site to Vietnam . This site located on Table Mountain on the South West coast of Newfoundland also served as the Radar Defense and Tacan location for the U.S. SAC base Earnest Harmon A.F.B. Commonly known as Harmon Field, is where i grew up and played a big role in my joining the RCAF. The base itself closed in 1966 but the U.S. maintained the Pine Tree site closing it out in the late 60's, thus the posting of it's staff to other locations. My heart went out to them being posted from Natures Island to the Hell Hole of Vietnam. I often wondered how they all made out. On another more peaceful U.S. Army related topic, word is due to tightening finances the Army Core of Engineers have decided to reduce their involvement in the dredging and general maintenance of the Inland Waterway. Apparently now more than ever it's "Travel at your own risk". Rumor has it that the far norther section is now heavily silted in and partially blocked by a sunken house that washed into it. Considering it's importance in travel and goods transport and a shining example of National Pride, I find it hard to believe. Does anyone have any info to confirm or disavow any of this .

This Guy Is Pretty Sure He Found Fossils From Noah’s Flood

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/fossils-noah-ark-flood-texas_us_56edaecde4b084c67220724c?

A Texas man says he found fossils from “Noah’s flood,” and the director of an anti-science museum that claims evolution is “an old-fashioned theory” is supporting him.

Wayne Propst was helping his aunt out, laying dirt near her home in the town of Tyler when he found snail fossils, he told local news station KYTX. He and his aunt believe the fossils happened during the fabled worldwide flood described in the biblical book of Genesis.

“From Noah’s flood to my front yard, how much better can it get?” Propst said.

Though some researchers believe that the inspiration of the Noah’s ark story was a large-scale flood event in the Middle East, there is no scientific evidence that a flood covering the entire Earth occurred in human history. Plus the logistics of getting two of each animal — especially dinosaurs, as Taylor believes were present — on one boat, cared for by only Noah’s family, would be downright impossible.

 

They weren't necessarily adult dinosaurs or elephants, or giraffes or hippos on the ark.
Juvenile animals would have served just fine to perpetuate the kinds and repopulate the post diluvian world.
And I agree there's LOT'S of things impossible for YOU!
It would require a God's influence.
You ain't a god nor a regulator of limits on God's powers.
The Creator is greater than his creation, just as the States are greater than the federal government they created.
Creators have the power to modify or even destroy their creations.

Which is a good thing, or my boat would NEVER get completed!
If we ain't careful about telling our histories, Viking, we'll date our selves as people from the previous century!.

Noah's Ark and the Ziusudra Epic: Sumerian Origins of the Myth is a book that takes a fresh look at six versions of the Ancient Near East flood myth, demythologizes them, and combines the various story elements like pieces of a jigsaw picture puzzle into one coherent story. There actually was an archaeologically confirmed flood about 2900 BC on which the ark stories were based, but it was a local river flood, not a global deluge. The original ark stories were about a small commercial river barge that was hauling a few hundred cattle, sheep, and goats, but there were no kangaroos, lions, apes, elephants, or giraffes on that cattle barge.

The emphasis in this book is on what was physically possible, technologically practical, and consistent wth archaeological facts in ancient Sumer, now southern Iraq. The result of this synthesis is a reconstruction of a lost legend about a Sumerian king named Ziusudra who was chief executive of the city-state Shuruppak at the end of the Jemdet Nasr period about 2900 BC. A six-day thunderstorm caused the Euphrates River to rise 15 cubits, overflow the levees, and flood Shuruppak and a few other cities in Sumer. A few feet of yellow sediment deposited by this river flood is archaeologically attested and artifacts at about this sediment level have been radiocarbon dated.

When the levees overflowed, Ziusudra (Noah) boarded a commercial river barge that had been hauling grain, beer, and other cargo on the Euphrates River. The barge floated down the river into the Persian (Arabian) Gulf where it grounded in an estuary at the mouth of the river. Ziusudra (Noah) then offered a sacrifice on an altar at the top of a nearby hill which storytellers mistranslated as mountain. This led them to falsely assume that the nearby barge had grounded on top of a mountain. Actually it never came close to a mountain.

After the ark grounded, Noah met other survivors of the flood and some of the things they discussed are mentioned in the myth that priests and storytellers told about the flood. Noah's family separated and Noah had to flee into exile, because of conflicts between Noah and other survivors of the flood. The place where Noah lived until his death is identified in this book. Noah's sons traveled northwest on foot along the Tigris River and settled at a place identified in this book

 

Funny the way the term "Noah's Ark" became rhyming slang for "shark". In some parts of the world, anyway.

 

Myark offering alternative Noah stories, in an attempt to discredit the Biblical account, does that entitle me to refute with supporting evidence of the Biblical account?
I mean, there's TON's of geological scientific proof I could post.
Like the exact same flood deposited sedimentary, thick chalk layer on every continent, including Australia.
White Cliff's of Dover the most famous, but not at all unique.

What's the rules here.

AGWers argue their political agenda when politics is supposedly verboten.
Attacking Christian/Judeo beliefs appears to be allowed, so is this thread biased against defensive refutation? Or is this thread a donnybrook outside of forum's normal restraints?

 

It would be better to take the religious discussion to another venue.
