Talk:Rise of Babel

Hi, Caeruleus. I was brousing and saw your gallant effort to insert some sanity into the 1983DD article on Japan. The editors at 1983DD got on a roll of pessimism that is hard to buck. I decided to go with the flow, though I made a little headway with the formerly "Provisional" United States.

That being said, the reason for this note is to ask whether you'd like to colaborate on "Rise of Babel." I began a similar time line - "No Supernatural Intervention" in which I almost let Babel succeed, but decided instead to have rebellion do God's work for him. That way, the time line was easier to write.

A word of warning, though, many in this wiki seem to think even assuming the Biblical record as a starting point is "religious" bias. That is nonsense, of course, and your statements about the world being populated already by this time "in OTL" might keep the hecklers away. Though I think the secular anthropologists have it wrong, I usually treat such matters as being up for debate. In this timeline, as with NSI, that is not an option, for the assumption must be that these were the only people on earth.

One more thing, about the dating. I chose Ussher's dates because they match secular history better. The Hebrew calendar has removed 244 years somehow. I have seen speculations of where the years went, but don't remember the specifics. I can see where the Anno Mundo dates based on the Jewish Calendar would be easy though. All you have to do is find a Conservative Jewish source that gives a time line of Biblical events. SouthWriter 02:26, February 22, 2011 (UTC)
