The David Ark Ages (theory)

I was thinking of the name David Ark, or Raymond Ark, possibly something like the Diamond Ark because has "dark" in the title. (Dark Ages)

So this is based on the idea that leaving the planet would cause an environmental melt down as a reaction to all the pollution.

One thing running through my mind is, "What if this has happened before?"

What if life dropped us off and took some resources with them?  Maybe when they left they took out the dinosaurs... As a story idea, what if they hunted the dinosaurs?

We could write all of this happening in a futuristic world but the viewers themselves can figure out the analogy to previous times.  History repeats itself.

So... basic plot:

- Earth becomes too full

- Cars become banned

- Horse industry takes off

- Horse trainer notices horses refuse to work with humans

- Start building ark

- Things start changing, animals working with humans, plants grow better, fish are more populous, etc.

- Leave planet, the planet enters a "dark age"

- Get to new planet

- Hunting alien dinosaur type species on new planet

- They're forced to leave the planet because they fuck up

- Some humans are left behind on new planet.

The idea is to leave the notion that this has happened before, that long ago, "human like species" may have discovered Earth and just hunted the dinosaurs for sport.  

When they left, they try to leave messages with us but the wake of their alien rocket engines destroys anything they leave behind, forcing us to rediscover the universe.
