Lewis Dartnell - How to Survive if You're Left Behind (N93)

The Rapture is a curious doctrine, as it's not in the Bible, anywhere! But let's pretend it's real, and you missed it! How would you survive the collapse of civilisation? Lewis Dartnell's day job is to search for life on Mars, but for fun he wrote 'The Knowledge: How to Rebuild Our World from Scratch'. It may sound a tad abstract, but it sheds light on our relationship with the planet and with each other and why Rapture theology is potentially so destructive.  “If society collapses, you’re going to be better off with friends and people you trust and a community around you.” - Lewis Dartnell Books, quotes, links → The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.
