Idea Preview: the Grand Unified Scriptures of Human Culture

Call it divine inspiration or maybe just the logical conjunction of several disparate concepts, but last week I began formulating the following idea:

Humanity needs a living document in which to collect the combined wisdom from the various world religions and branches of sciences.

The Wikipedia is already doing this for human knowledge by applying open source technologies and techniques to the capture and documentation of facts in the form of encyclopedia articles. The time is right for us to begin similar work with human wisdom, probably in some form of scripture.

I'm still working on fleshing out many of the details and committing this idea, along with its associated ideas into words suitable for publication. Hopefully I'll find time to work on this among my many other activities.

How would you deal with diametrically apposed values/belief systems in such a tomb?
