Me, too. My coworkers are looking at me strangely (okay, more strangely than is usual) due the explosive (and juicy) guffaw I just uttered.

Srsly, Dave, the whining is truly pathetic, although the Lego playset=evidence of YEC is certainly more honest and on-point than your usual mental gymnastics.

C'mon, people, surely this qualifies Dave as a troll, beyond a shadow of a doubt? This is silliness beyond belief.

What's to summarize? I just think it's funny that the Creation Museum ... not the Field Museum ... got through to the Lego artists. And I think that's just great!

Your side gets all these millions of dollars of tax money to try to indoctrinate our school children with your pseudo-science and apparently it's not working.

Does that also mean they got through to Hannah and Barbera too? Get a fucking grip man. It's lego, not real life.

Are you really seriously claiming that what is depicted in lego scenes is in any way real or supposed to be? What the fuck is wrong with you Dave,. Get help.

I take it back, hes not a parody he is fucking barking.

Look everyone this shows that big cities really do exist perched on giant hands


that the last supper happened exactly as in the famous pic


That glow in the dark pumpkin highway men really do ride black horses


and last but not least that Lost is for real.




And then of course there is this historically accurate depiction of medieval life in Southern England.

Well, this certainly illustrates, at its heart, the sophistication of the YEC position.

Perhaps alongside the usual warnings on childrens toys such as "Hazardous may contain pieces that a child can choke on " there should be an extra one "Hazardous believing these are real things and events can lead to hospitalisation and heavy sedation (if not a straight jacket ) "

I can see very well. There's a boat on the reef with a broken back. I can see it very well.

There's a joke and I know it very well. It's one of those that I told you long ago. Take my word I'm a madman don't you know.

Dave suffers from an extraordinary delusion that creationists are massively influential. He spent a while arguing that Morris and Whitcomb's The Genesis Flood has been an influence on modern geology. Seriously. Now he's down to arguing that just because you can get a lego set with dinos and humans in it, YECs must be responsible. It's a fucking lego set! By this token, 1 Million Years BC was a YEC film with Ken Ham disguised as Raquel Welch.

Dave - learn to distinguish fiction from reality. It's an important skill.

Are you fucking kidding me, Dave? When I was a child in the mid/late 70's my mom bought me a bag of plastic dinosaurs which also had a few cavemen and a Dungeons and Dragons rust monster in it. Looks like the YEC movement was leading the way even then! Not quite sure what the rust monster was doing in the bag, though, since D&D is from Teh Debbil!

At least once a week or so, "AF" Dave Hawkins can be counted on to post something so daft, so far removed from what people normally term "sane," that it keeps people in stitches and staring wide-eyed at the screen waiting for the next Three Stooges-like development.

Shudder at the thought. Though to be fair most creos would probably crack one off over Ken than Raquel anyway. Unlike Kent who prefers to receive these days, well maybe not prefer but...........

From the Lego official site

Quote:
The name 'LEGO' is an abbreviation of the two Danish words "leg godt", meaning "play well". It’s our name and it’s our ideal.
BUT if you read as a Creationist would i.e swap some information about and ignore the bits that don't fit you can get

"let God"

But this thing you call "Reality", as if it were objective, is a figment of your imagination. All we have to work with, to understand our lives, are narratives. And one narrative is never any more "true" than another. If you had read anything about philosophy, you'd know that.

In case it wasn't obvious, I'm joking.
