Jacques Almighty

Note from mum: Jack's assignment this time is rather 'radical' or 'controversial'. Religious reader, please do not feel offended.
We asked Jack to imagine that he were god (or God). The Earth is going to be hit by a meteor, and as god he will bring all people on Earth to a 'waiting room' - like Noah's ark - while create a new earth in 7 days. The people will be the same - same emotions, prejudice, multi-cultural, etc - but as god he has the priviledge to make the new earth different. By day 7, he has to put all the people onto the new earth and he has to explain why he arrange things in his new way. Bear in mind that he should learn from the mistakes and wrongs that was happening in the old Earth.
With no further delay, here is Jacques Amighty re-creation of earth.
--------
Geography
  • Firstly this planet would be called Unition after the United Nations.
  • Japan (in red) will move to the middle of France, Germany and Russia (black) in order for them to stop the illegal whaling.

  • America and the UK (Green) will be moved nearer to the Equator so that they will see the effects of global warming better and will hopefully stop using non-eco-friendly.
  • Replacing America would be Africa, the continent, turned at a 90degree turn also this would help the Africans.
  • Iraq (yellow) and Afghanistan (blue) will be separated by moving Iraq south-west to the Pacific Ocean where it will touch no land as there is a chance of another war and then Afghanistan south to the Indian Ocean where they would face becoming an island.

Fuels and Resources

  • Oil (in black and measured by the largeness of the spot) will be founded in harsh places in order for people to abuse the advantages of oil and pollute the world again.
  • Buried deep underground are small gold and diamond mines (yellow spot) which are so deep so that less people won’t recognise it and so won’t create fights and/or robberies.Whilst everything else stays the same apart from a few little changes, read on to see what they are.

1st Day of Creation (again)

I began to shape Unition by the natural particles which I used for Earth. The basic form of Unition is a perfectly rounded sphere the same size as Earth. I created first a centre of gravity in mid-space where Earth used to be stationed. Because of this rock and dust began to form on to the gravity sphere growing slowly bigger which made my job much easier. Since I was sometimes an impatient man, well God, I sped the cycle which then finished in a day. Unition looked marvellous, well if you imagine it hard enough, it felt as if my new planet moulded itself perfectly in Earth’s path and began its orbit around the Sun. Also I created a new moon since the original got hit on one of its sides and floated off into another universe where Andy and Adeline Almighty, my parents, commanded the universe. I did the same process as Unition only with a smaller centre of gravity. More dust quickly came to this centre of gravity and soon formed the moon which orbited Unition as the original did.

2nd Day of Creation

As I remembered my basic chemistry I quickly gathered 2hydrogens and 1oxygen and merged them into water. I placed my newly formed water into my ‘spray can’ and ‘sprayed’ water onto the Unition. Cautiously I placed the right amounts of water in each part as I don’t want say the UK plunging deep into the oceans. Using asteroids from near by I shaped each country or continents and place them ever so carefully into where they lay on Earth unless I plan to change them.

3rd Day of Creation

I created another atmosphere, ozone layer and placed basic particles which I used for Earth in the atmosphere. Oxygen quickly formed from the particles I gave it and then other gases began to form such as helium, nitrogen etc.

4th Day of Creation

I gave certain places certain climates. Everything was based on the original and so Oceans are Oceans, deserts are deserts; ice caps are ice caps etc. From this these lands are now inhabitable and await the animals and humans of Earth.

5th Day of Creation

Plants formed from the fertile soil I provided them. Most of these plants are copies of the original models but have improved themselves by evolving slightly in order for them to change very quickly if the climate changes.

6th Day of Creation

The waiting room began to empty as one by one the animals and humans habited the Unition. Most people took everything as it was pretty well and so I have one less thing to worry about. The animals accepted the changes and quickly found their new homes.

Economy

I decide that there would be no such thing as money as this will corrupt the minds of many people. America and the UK will become one small continent and will have many resources split between them as they will both become more diplomatic with each other.

Materials

Paper will be made of thin, boiled silk which will then be dried and later pressed to make it as thin as paper. Cotton and wool will be only created by sheep, because then places such as Uzbekistan will not treat their children harshly as they did on Earth. Plastic will be made from oxidising rubber and then boil for a short amount of time. Some gems may be copied and produced by humans but their quality will be less unique and also they will be more fragile.

Time

No children will be born on 29th of February as it will be unfair that their age is less than usual.

Other Things Concerning Unition

Everyone will be as lucky as everyone else as it will not be fair if someone is luckier than the other. In addition to luck, there will be no bad luck or good luck charms as it will unbalance chances. Although people may posses what they think is a good luck charm such as their favourite teddy bear. Food chains will always have a plant as the producer unless it concerns a Venus Fly Trap which will be a secondary consumer.
