Default Christianity.

Would the Single-Child true model of Christianity have helped mankind to form a more sustainable and loving Global Community had it been adopted by everyone?

With reference to the First Born principle.

I seem to think that this principle was betrayed by someone.

Judas!

One obvious result would be for world population to decline by about 50%/life time. In other words, every 50-75 years the population would be half of what it was before. If we make a high estimate for the world population at 30 C.E. to be 500 million, and assume that the average life span over the last 2000 yeras was 70 years (which is a very high estimate) then ...

# of lifetimes since 30 C.E. = (2004 - 30)/70 = 28.2 lifetimes

World population in 2004 = 500 million / 2^28.2 = 1.6 people.

Hmmm. It's probably for the best that they didn't.

Default This is a public service announcement

I think I'll detour this over to GRD and let the folks there determine if that will be the end of the line or just a stop along the way to ~~E~~.

cheers,

Hello Michael,

You have fog in San Francisco but you also have smog in Los Angeles.

If you can flood the Salton Sea (open it to the Ocean) you can get more evaporation and this should cause an updraught which will produce a wind, pulling air over Los Angeles.

This should help you to prevent smog accumulating in Los Angeles and allow your people living there to breath more easily and have better health too.

I hope that this is of help to you.
