I haven't, though you can't know that from my post, which was seeing the funny side of the earlier post rather than making any theological observation on it. You are too eager to score a point that you din't stop to understand my post.

I actually wasn't attempting to score any points. Many people haven't read it, but if you would have read any of it then you would know there's nothing funny about your post because it's true.

well, not scientific and no intent to speak about anything remotely scientific or medical. Also, not from Leviticus.

I thought there were like 10+ Egyptian pyramids. How could we duplicate something without copying it? How could we do it for free and not at great cost?

Did the Egyptians build our marvelous concrete and steel buildings, taller then any tower they could achieve themselves? No.

A meaningless distinction, really.

Have you ever studied the various ancient megaliths from around the globe? They are hewn from stone... some from top to bottom.

Are you saying we couldn't do that today, with a lot of slaves and a few decades on our hands?

I have to doubt that it is as it appears, but if it was it would be even funnier. And of course you were trying to score a point. Re -read your post. If you can't see it, you're the only one that can't.

Probably. It's astounding how easily Dainiken is hi -jacked by religious apologists under the impression that science not being able to explain how Incas cut stone with their bare hands somehow proves that God exists.

No. I'm saying we haven't been able to do so, so far.

Even funnier, for some, it's actually a practice.

I'm not looking to prove any God exists. This is a discussion forum, not a cult following recruitment site.
