Carson has stated recently that he still stands with that belief.

I think that Carson saying something like that is just cute, shows his innocence somehow but don't get me started on Obama, he don't even know what he is, he started a new religion of himself, all praise be to Allah. Maybe him and Jimmy carter and his wife needs to start a new religion.
Or maybe the American people should stop putting so much emphasis on what religion the president subscribes to. That way presidential candidates can stop lying about being a devout Christian and making a big show of praying and going to church.

Obama is the first president in U.S. history that attempted to speak to ALL Americans and that's gotten him a lot of criticism. All former presidents spoke ONLY to Christians. Unfortunately, we have a lot of ignorant, xenophobic Christians in this country that just can't STAND it when a president doesn't sound like a preacher and refuses to sprinkle every speech with copious references to God and Christianity.

Praise be to Allah? Really?

I'd be crying if I were him. I love his research into the pyramids. He makes a lot of good points.

I had a poster here tell me the pyramid was (seemed to think there is just One) a water pump.

You mean you didn't know? Egypt's one, singular pyramid used to have a water sprinkler at its apex. It used to spray half of Egypt with water ... which is why the Sahara used to be a lush garden-like paradise and why the Sphinx looks so eroded. Hmm, I thought everyone knew that.

Hey optimism.

6. The only grain found in pyramids is part of a burial ritual: To be fair, there have been a few odd remains of grain found in pyramids by archaeologists, but this is part of an Egyptian burial ritual known as the Osiris bed, as the Tour Egypt site explains:

"These are wooden trays in the form of the god, Osiris, which were planted with seeds of grain. They were expected to germinate once the tomb was sealed, and were symbolic of the continuation of life after death."

Orions belt?

Learn something new every day. I didn't even know grains had been found in the pyramids. Aren't they also found in the non -pyramidical tombs?

If the Egyptians knew what the fundies were saying, they would use the grain to make alcohol.
