Yes Chris I imagine that intellectuals would make some envious of their own gaps in life. But that can be fixed by reading and continuing your education. Yes I do like re-reading my stuff sometimes. Sometimes I think it is inspired, but is probably just me.

No Chris GOD is an ET. Look up the phrase ET. It means Exists Above The Earth. How does that not refer to God? Yes the Ark Project is a major waste of time as I hinted at in my posting.

Yes READING the Bible with discernment (as Apostle Paul suggested) you may learn MANY things you never knew before. Like what? Like there is no such thing as an "eternal burning hell" or hellfire. That is just one of MANY organized Christianity (Catholic/Protestant) myths. Hades or Hell is just a common condition of non-existence or death NOT a place of conscious torment. Also the devil temporarily lives right here on Earth with us NOT in Hell; and as Paul said is the god of this system of things.

Fortunately God will soon retire this old system of things with its false misleading god/teacher; and then issue a new system of things. Burroughs and Burke IMHO are two victims of this false god's demonic 'last days' inspirations and teachings.

The introspective question needs to be asked: "Will I be there?" and "What do I need to do NOW to get on the CORRECT path to there?"

BTW God appreciates "SMART" – He gave King Solomon that most cherished gift! Think about it Chris.

Google my moniker/handle to see who Utnapistim was in history. You'll find it very interesting.

Boargenes AKA Utnapishtim

Boargenes = "Sons of thunder"

The real point is will the GOD of heaven allow this ?

I do not think GOD will allow this.

I mean sure we may put a survival bank on the Moon, but, It is not going to work out like the powers that be, here on Earth desire.

Besides all that, The whole idea is less important, than the problems we have right here on Earth.

Lets not start spreading are genetic modified un-tested and pollutions else where.

Lets instead clean up Earth, and let GOD decide if we deserve to remain.

You know we have not been the best caretakers of Earth, and all the children. So much killing and suffering, all at the hands of the World ruling class, and their dogs.

[...] Lunar Ark Jamais Cascio's Eschatological Taxonomy Peak Oil Vs. Global Warming Colony Collapse Disorder [...]

Actually the Idea was Presented in the Movie Titan AE in 2000. Life apparently follows Art in this case. The Idea of an Ark is Novel, but it's akin to building a Minivan when you need a Freight Train. Why settle for building a fall back plan? What is needed is a Self Sustaining Human Colony with a Good Wireless Connection and Up to Date Backups of all of Google's Servers.

The Idea of a Global Catastrophe is not conjecture, it is inevitable. If we are to prevent our species from vanishing into the long night of extinction we absolutely must sever the umbilical cord with this planet.

Humanity is more and more like the 18 Year old child, nearing the end of primary school. It is time to find a job and to start looking for an apartment of our own. We can visit our Parents house any time for dinner, but we need to move on so our siblings have room to grow.

Would they even bother to spend the time and investigate what they were looking at?

[...] Plans for a "Doomsday Ark" on the Moon are in the Works March 13th, 2008 | Category: Astronomy, Contributors Let's say something terrible happens to your computer, like it crashes or you drop it. All of those movies you bought online are toast, as is your address book and most of your work. It's always a good idea to have a backup somewhere else, right? Having a backup of your computer is handy, but having a backup of the entire progress of human civilization is even more practical. If a major catastrophic event like nuclear war or an asteroid strike wipes out most of the humans on the planet, it would be helpful for the survivors to have a record of all the accomplishments we've made in the past few thousands of years to help rebuild and repopulate the Earth. (more…) [...]

Bottom line is this. I would like to also teach the new civilization about consequences too. This way we don't have a new civilization that does very stupid things like adding radioactive material to toothpaste, and such.

No guilt was intended. So drink your coffee already

Alternative Three is what an early post was describing…

I just been reading about it.

good luck every one

The problem as I see it would be then these 'bots would become the "gods" of any society that sprang up even if they had limited AI. Also the poster that suggested that rogue nations would hit the moon with a nuke that wouldn't happen you need a high level to tech to build a nuke and the delivery system. It is much cheaper and easier to develop chemical and bio war. For example the smallpox blankets that were given to the North American natives and the mustard gas from WW1.

These human survivors did historically and in fact repopulated the Earth but did not require any such human-built/designed "archive" as this ET deity-entity provided real-time technology transfer via His FMA and O-B-E-D-I-E-N-T metaphysical messenger/emissaries.

It seems to me that if this particular ET entity decides to bring a SECOND doomsday it will be for equally corrective reasons. It stands to reason that He would provide the SAME metaphysical emissary infrastructure He did circa 4,000 years ago in the aforementioned feared future post-apocalyptic period. Yes there's room on T-H-I-S "ark" for many FMA human survivors here on Earth not up there in space (aka heaven) somewhere!!!

It appears to me that we humans should be putting our loyalty or allegiance to Him rather than to imperfect man-made archives which could plausibly contain many 'bad' things; such as: racist, and arguably hidden-agenda-esque books like: "The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection: The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life."

Food for thought: Exactly W-H-O decides who the FAVORED RACES are? Think about who's metaphoric table you will dine at by the last day? This Divine deity-entity ET or the quintessential slanderer/resistor muse of William Burrough's and Jim Burke's arguably ludicrous and intrinsically flawed concepts of Divinely-initiated-doomsday survival.

(BTW this particular ET would never allow a 'doomsday scenario' unless He initiated it. That's academic / historical my dear Watsons!)

Boargenes AKA Utnapishtim

As many have already said, if the civilization is so damaged that you need this information you would have to recreate most of it just to be able to get off the planet (and get back) in the first place.

I'm all in favor of going to the moon but this isn't the reason to do so. Now if we happen to get there taking along a copy of the ark would certainly be a good idea.

As for us preserving the means to protect "the slow destruction of our planet", I think Curtis and the other liberal dunderheads are reaping the benefit of a very comfortable life here on good old Planet Earth. No guilt with my morning coffee, please.

Another issue, if the Earth is wiped out and becomes totally inhospitable, techniques such as 'smelting metal, planting crops and building houses' would be useless, as humans would now need to make the Moon home, and therefore those techniques would need to be properly studied and researched for inclusion in the ark, such that they can be applied in a lunar environment also.

Also some previous comments assume that all of humanity will be wiped out, or those that are left will have no knowledge of the world's existing state of affairs. Clearly any surviving adults would be able to take the knowledge from the 'ark' and apply it appropriately to rebuilding civilisation, by taking advantage of 'green' technology from the start etc etc.

My final point is security. Any existing space faring nation would pose a huge security risk for the 'offsite' ark on the Moon. For example, if they were capable of wiping out all humans on Earth (by WMD etc) then they could send humans from their nation to the moon to take control of it, then wipe out all remaining humans on Earth. That nation would then be the only surviving human nation, and would be starting up the next era of humanity, and basically in control of the entire World!
