The next chapter of the Bible is being written right now. When a mysterious fever sweeps the world targeting drug users, theories abound as to its origin. Scientists suspect that this is a new pathogen and race to discover an antidote. Authorities worry that it is a man-made weapon designed to eliminate the less productive members of society. A religious group, that calls themselves Noah’s Arc, claims that this fever is God’s tool to cleanse the earth as he did with water in the time of Noah. Within weeks the death toll reaches into the millions and the world breaks into panic. People riot against their governments demanding a cure.

And if so, how do you choose who to eliminate? The world population has crossed the seven billion mark. Many scientists believe that the earth does not have enough natural resources to sustain so many humans. If the human race continues to grow without changing our wasteful habits and dependency on natural resources it is likely that a
