| Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web. While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself!

Time flows like a river. Which is to say, downhill. We can tell this because everything is going downhill rapidly. It would seem prudent to be somewhere else when we reach the sea. "It is the old wound my king. It has never healed." | |

Ehm...y'might be in the wrong place, buddy. This is for story premises, like for TV and movies and such. Try making a topic for your mole-guys. |

I've got a what-if scenario idea: What if 'Mary' had a miscarriage when she had 'Jesus', and subsequently, Christianity had never formed? Would the Roman Empire have split, or merely sunk into corruption? Would there have been a Renaissance? Would Judaism or some kind of Paganism be the major Western religion? |

I'd imagine that the Roman Empire would've survived to a point where they'd turn their own pagan church into a business, if they hadn't already done that. Consequently, it'd probably fall much later, possibly at the hands of the Mongols (since, without Jesus, Islam wouldn't exist, and thus no Turks), unless it joins forces with China. If the latter occurs, the 2 nations would end up dividing the rest of the world amongst themselves, though they'd most likely end up fighting over some small piece of land (maybe the Caribbean) and tear each other asunder. What would happen after a Dark Age that would probably follow this, who's to say? That's just the real-world application, though. Just think of the theological ramifications to that happening! |

I've got an idea for a story, have any of you guys heard the term 'american taliban' it refers to the extremist christian americans who wish to make the USA a christian theocracy based on the ten commandments and such and such. my story is set in a parallel universe where the GFC was worse (it was as bad as the great depression) as a result many americans turned to God and the people who had been preaching that such a disaster would occur, hence the american taliban gain political power and are elected into office. The new president soon abolishes non-christian religions (practicing a non-christian religion is punishable by a life in jail),known LGBT people are quickly rounded up and executed (a large amount escape as they were expecting something similar to happen shortly before the election), Athiests are publicly executed by the tasteful method of being crushed by a heavy vehicle (trucks,tanks and any large vehicles can be used). War is then declared on Iran and Saudi Arabia by the president, Mecca and Medina are nuked in the process. All this has happened by the novel's beginning (it starts soon (5 minutes to be exact) after Mecca is nuked), the story involves an underground group of rebels against the regime, . of course they have the help from allies, such as the north korean & chinese governments, literally millions of Islamic people declare jihad on the USA (the sheer amount of Islamic jihadists is so massive that if you put all of them together you'd have a military nearly twice the population of the USA). |

Sounds a bit unlikely to me, I think you would need more build up. The Taliban's history goes back to the Soviet's misadventure in Afghanistan. The Nazi party only got into power after German was beaten to hell. I think you will need more than the US being poor to make nutters subvert everything America stands for. Speaking of modern war scenarios, how about something based on this. Can't elaborate now as I need to go to work.

I use Wikipedia and MS Paint. And to expand on it, I made up the scenario to examine the military alliances I see forming in the 21st century. ![]() I'm also working on a new Alternate History with an Austria dominated, more liberal German Empire emerging. Here are some ideas for novels I had set during the 1945-48 Grand War between Germany and the Franco-Russian Alliance. Tribal Wars: The first book covers the lead up to the war, the Russian invasion of Finland, the Strange War* and the Russian invasion of Germany. Not Yet Lost: Covers the German repulse of the Russian invasion, the Polish and Ukrainian uprisings and the German push into Russia. Crystal Pure Hearts: Covers the latter part of the invasion the Russia as the battle lines start to stabilise, and the Indochina campaign. Darkest Afrika: Covers the North and West African campaigns and the annexation of Poland. Watch on the Seine: Covers the breeching of the Vauban Line, France's great border fortress and the German advance on Paris Just Not Done: Paris falls, and battles are fought just outside Moscow. France is desperate and drops a atom bomb on Frankfurt. Germany fires rockets with gas warheads on Orléans and plans nuclear strikes on Southern France. The British Confederation, Scandinavia, Portugal, Japan and Spain and the Netherlands decide this is not going to end well and threaten to declare war on all parties unless they agree to a truce, and they comply. The Guard Dies: Mostly. A lot of the French are royally pissed off and much of the navy decides to take out its frustrations on the Senior Service. Apart from the odd die hard submarine the war is over by Christmas. Then the negotiations begin and it covers the signing of a new Treaty and the creation of an Alliances by the British and allies to ensure nobody uses atomic weapons again. 50 points if you get all the titles. *France and Russia are at war with Germany but neither side has commenced major land operations. Much air and naval warfare though. Edited by lamna, Oct 29 2010, 01:15 PM.
