To be technical, they really only had to dig up those big stone blocks.

The pyramid blocks were almost certainly poured; you’d waste 80% of the material trying to carve them, even if you had the infinite time and manpower to do it. Wagons full of stone from quarries were hauled to the site and emptied into frames, and then some sort of liquid bonding agent was poured into the frame and topped off. The close fits of the blocks are from the use of the frames and not from carving with infinite resources.

Maybe in Cambodia. Sorry about the picture size.

[wendy1946]

Oh, yeah, the two things you have in Africa which would be useful for hauling wagons like that are elephants and buffalo. I doubt they’d have used dinosaurs even if they’d had them.

Vince Fenech is a nut. He teaches his students that Malta’s joining the European Union in 2003 was predicted in Holy Scripture. He’s also a rabid anti-Catholic - and in a Catholic country that can make you nuts I suppose.

When man landed on the moon (in 1969), they expected the landing module to sink in a deep layer of dust. But the layer was only a few inches deep. This proves that the universe is still young!”

That one is so silly that even Answers in Genesis advises against using it. Source

And dinosaurs cavorting about with humans is even sillier.

[SandRat]

Like this????

Dinosaurs helped build the pyramids, school director says

The proof could easily be found in the writings of the times, or in the hieroglyphics. But mostly, the proof would be more apparent in the art of the times.

Is there any such proof?

[jimmyray]

Job refers to Leviathon and Behemoth. A reading of Behemoth's description compels one to mentally picture a Brachiosaur.

The word "dinosaur" was coined in 1842, and before that the animals described were called... Regardless of your belief system, one still has to explain the myriad of ancient references to "dragons". One's view of origins greatly influences how they interpret any evidence of man's coexisting with dinosaurs, such as ancient reliefs, the Ica stones, all of the "mythology" concerning dragons, etc.

[Tanniker Smith]

Everyone knows that the pyramids were landing pads for alien spaceships!

[tang-soo]

Does it? I would have thought it merely illustrates that unlike the Earth, the moon has little or nothing in the way of atmosphere… and dust is usually generated as a result of particles which combine as they are buffeted around by the movement of atmospheric molecules. Also, the moon’s gravity is two thirds less than it is on Earth… which in turn means that dust is practically weightless, and therefore doesn’t settle. But of course there is little point in saying so, because as far as Fenech in concerned, it is the word of God alone that counts.

No. Dust on the moon is caused by radiation breakdown. Before Apollo 11, claims of 5-10 billion year old solar system implied a prediction of several hundred feet of dust based upon the known rate of this breakdown. Hence the trashcan lid - sized pads on that lunar module. Surprise was that fractions of an inch was found. Back to the drawing board.

If Fenech believes everything in the article exactly as it’s stated, I don’t agree completely.

However, the writer of the article takes many liberties himself. For example:

“Strangely, however, Vincent Fenech appears incapable of giving a straight answer. Instead, after humming and hawing and generally avoiding the issue, he suddenly denies having made the claim in the first place. “We do not teach that abortion is murder,” he insists, contradicting himself totally in less than five minutes. “What we teach is ‘Thou shalt not kill’.”

I do believe from the context that Fenech meant both statements although there was a contradiction. “We don’t just teach our students about evolution,” he continues enthusiastically. “We also teach them, for example, that abortion is murder… and you can quote me on that, too!”
He stated that he believes abortion is murder, and that he teaches children, “Thou shalt not kill”. It’s probably a matter of the age at which you correlate the two or if you simply explain to children we are commanded by God not to kill (murder) and let them draw their own conclusions about whether tearing a child to pieces in the mothers womb or sucking it’s brains out with a vacuum constitute murder.

What this does bring to remembrance is the fact that it’s a bad idea to talk to people who’s only mission in life is to discredit you. I’m sure that after Fenech’s time with the writer of the article and his cronies, he could come up with a lot of quotes showing them in a bad light.

“the war on the theory of evolution and on its proponents most often originates in forms of religious extremism which are closely allied to extreme right-wing political movements”

This statement, no matter how rooted in the government proves that the “believers” in evolution are promoting a form of religion. Evolution is and always has been (and always will be) a theory. That hasn’t changed and there is no imperical evidence to the contrary. The quote above actually lines out every person in the entire world that believes the Bible is God’s Word as a right-wing extremist. So be it! The religious zealots in the bible looked at Jesus exactly the same way and eventually crucified Him. We can’t expect to be treated any differently by the extreme left-wing, environ’mental’ whacko, communist-lovin’, God-hating, alternative-lifestyle-embracin’, evolution worshippers in the world now.

I would prefer not to be persecuted for my beliefs... wouldn’t everyone? But we shouldn’t be surprised when it happens.

Articles like this from evolutionist zealots will not stop until we see heaven (or hell, as the case may be).

Thanks for the heads-up.
