Angkor Wat and Dinosaurs...CMI's stupidity.

Check this out.  This is an article by Creation Ministries International, the Aussie branch of AiG.

The complete and humiliating take down, if I were the author of that shit, is given by Aron Ra here at the 28:41 mark.

There's a carving in Angkor Wat that kinda looks like a dinosaur and creationists think it proves that dinosaurs and humans coexisted.

So they're attempting to use a Hindu/Buddhist temple to prove Creationism, which is only based on Christianity.

I wonder if they realize how stupid they sound, but they figure any attention is good.

Actually, the point they are making is not contradicted by the fact that their "evidence" is from a Buddhist temple. If that was actually an image of a dinosaur drawn by people who saw a live dinosaur, then it does not matter what religion (if any) those people belonged to. If they could somehow prove that Stegosaurs (if that is what it is, I can't remember all the dinosaur names) coexisted with humans it would be a massive discovery. And there is no contradiction with other religions coexisting alongside Christianity (depending on your branch of Christianity either those religions are simply false or they worship minor gods and demons.)

Although they would need to dig up some rather impressive evidence to prove that their Creationism is true and all the scientific evidence against it is either false or misinterpreted.

...But I still think that in this case that image is not of a dinosaur and it just looks like one by coincidence.

Baby Asian rhino. The YouTube debunking lecture by Aron Ra was worth a watch. Downright amusing.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

Took a gander at that AronRa video. I love his take down of creationists.

LATER EDIT: AronRa thinks it was a pig and he jokingly dubbed it "Pigasaurus". Personally, I...along with many others...see a rhino.

One part that was hilarious is when he tackled how Creationists would look at paredolia in cave walls and pass them off as "Cave paintings of dinosaurs"....especially the part about some discolored cave lumpiness that Creationists pass off as "The epic battle between Tyrannosaurus Rex & Wooly Mammoth!" (which he states looked more like crude hand puppets of Barney & Dumbo).
To drive the point home, he compares these blobs and stains to real cave paintings which are quite visible, impressive, unambiguous, beautiful & very detailed.

If you still don't get it after "Aliens!", some folks believe this sarcophagus lid art depicts a guy (either an E.T. or the ancient Mayan king who's buried in said sarcophagus)...at the controls of a space ship. In reality, he's lying down and all that stuff is some mythical 'Tree Of Life' iconography & animal totems. It depicts said king entering the hereafter.

Is it just me, or do most of the "ancient aliens" theories seem to involve non-white civilizations?

Really? You haven't heard of people who think Stonehenge is somehow connected to aliens (this is also the topic of the most recent Thor movie, if I'm not mistaken)?

I've been thinking the same.

There is one Greek temple, though, that gets weird "Von Daanken" silliness tossed at it. Stonehenge & Norse sites sometimes enter the fray.

I'm not against the concept of aliens or aliens visiting us per se...but all the alleged evidence has been proven to be bogus plus the very concept is insulting to us humans.

It's like they're saying, "It wasn't human ingenuity that built the Pyramids....It was little green men named Zork & Pinfob from Planet Blorzarg-5!".


This bellow is the best takedown of this "Ancient Astronaut" stuff. Sadly & ironically, the guy doing it is also a ChristoFrum who believes in creationism. However, until the last 15 minutes, it's a pretty secular documentary that does an awesome job at debunking. Shame that last 15 minutes ruins it......

But I made a re-edited version without the stupid part. It ends before the Frumminess begins.......
