Looking for a Science Fiction and/or TV writer to work on a project

OK, I'm going to throw this out here and see if anyone is interested. I have an idea for a Sci-Fi series or movie, but I don't have the patience to write it. If anyone out there is into writing SF, or has experience writing for TV, and wants to do this, get in touch with me. I'll consult if you like, but you can take it an run with it as long as I get credit for the idea.

The idea is to follow the history of the Bible from a sort of "Chariot of the Gods"/ Book of Enoch perspective : Yahweh is a captain of a ship of people called the Annunaki, angels are crew members, Jesus is one of them, and there are competing ships or races that become pantheons of other cultures - Isis leads one ship, her lover Osiris is murdered, etc. Moses is talking to a hologram, the ark of the convenant is a radio transmitter that allows the humans to communicate with the ship at great distances, Ezekial is taken aboard a ship he describes a a wheel, etc. We see the story from the perspective of the Annunaki, who are observing and interacting with primitive humans. Some, like Yahweh, intend to establish themselves as deities in the minds of the humans; others, like Isis and Jesus, are trying to help civilization develop along peaceful lines.

There are places on line you can read more about the Annunaki. The twist is to take the audience into the stories from the Annunaki perspective, rather than the perspective of the "patriarchs" that we get in the bible. The Annunaki would be more like modern humans watching a more primitive race, interacting with them and maybe even doing genetic experiments on them.

Speculative non-fiction books have been written about these ideas, but no one has put it into a dramatic format yet, though some series like the original Battlestar Galactica have hinted at it.

Any takers?
