Grain storage? They look more like ammo lockers to me.

Finally, an explanation for why the pyramids are hollow. But he’s wrong about Joseph—the largest pyramids were built long before Joseph’s day.

I suppose it’s too much to hope that your global-warming friend in line appreciated the irony of his getting a drivers license?


I mentioned that, too. After a while I asked why he needed a drivers license because if he was true to his beliefs he’d be riding a bike. But like I said, they are beyond reason.

If their actions only affected them it would be great. Unfortunately not.

There are a lot more efficient ways to build a storage structure than millions of tons of stone.

Think he might’a been putting them on?

...the biblical narrative merely says he stored it in “each city”.

And more properly he ordered it to be stored in each city. He did not physically handle it and place it in storage. But since he was the guy in charge, it is proper to say "he stored it".

There was so much ice in Midwest, melting that ice formed the largest body of fresh water on earth, which we call the Great Lakes.

Jan 20, 2015 · Moscow (AFP) - Russia sounded the alarm Tuesday as water levels in Lake Baikal, the world's largest freshwater lake, dropped to record lows...

If we count all the Great Lakes as one body of water, your source is correct. But individually Baikal is the real biggie.

No president knows everything. That's why he has a lot of advisers available to him who are specialists in one field.

Whether or not the pyramids were in fact Joseph's granaries of the Bible is moot. Having an opinion on something so arcane will have no impact on the Presidency, or the country, or the world stage.

Putin himself may have ideas on the subject, but nobody gives a shit.

Ancient history is a rather fascinating field, but damned few can be called experts on it. The fact remains that you and I and everybody else can have off-the-wall ideas on this stuff, and in the end analysis it's all just for giggles.

I'm not worried at all about the good doctor having ideas like this. It has no effect on my opinion of the man or the candidate.

As for 7th Day Adventists, there's lots, lots more in this world to get excised about than Carson's offhand remark about food policies and attendant distribution theories in Egypt thousands of years ago.

If you want to live in the past (the real old past!), then do so. That's your prerogative. Me? I'm much more concerned about the present and the short term future.

But, as they say, to each his own!

CA....
