| Bangla Newspaper publishes Junk Science to prove Islamic Doctrine |
| 2004-04-30 |
| Basically, the Islamic ’scholars’ took an image from an excavation in NY and placed a giant skeleton on it and said 1. that it came from Saudi Arabia and 2. that this proves the hadith verses about Adam being 90 feet tall. This was published in the normative news as just another news article. EFL------------- Giant human skeleton found in Saudi Arabia By Saalim Alvi from Riyadh Apr 22, 2004, 12:04 Recently gas exploration is going in the desert of south east region of Saudi Arabia . This desert region is called Empty Quarter , which means in Arabic "RAB - UL -KHAALEE"; this body has been found by ARAMCO exploration team. This proves what Allah SWT said in QURAN about the people of AAD nation and HOOD nation. They were so tall, wide and very power full that they were able to pull out big trees just with the one hand. But what happen after when they become misguided and disobeys Allah SWT, Allah SWT destroyed the whole nation... |

| #20 Adam of course came from the Garden of Eden which was in what is now Iraq. Either someone is a bit mixed up or they just made it up. |

| #16 Frank G - How can they stand to listen to him talk with that pompous inflection in his voice? |

| #15 I'm thinking it will be a disaster no matter what happens....I'm counting on it. Fact is, most people/reporters, etc. in Mass. dislike his arrogant ass |

| #14 Frank G - Did you ever wonder that if the DNC dumps Kerry, they might have to move the convention from Boston? |

| #13 RC - "probably the only time this many of the fakes will be on display." Discounting the DNC convention in Boston, hmmmm? |

| #8 I've left specific burial instructions. I'm gonna be buried with several lbs Apalachee pottery shards, an assortment of Barber coins, my Leica and an el cheap calculator. I'm not gonna make it easier for the 25th century folks. |

| #7 Since area relationships are a square function and volume relationships are a cube function mathematically the whole notion of a proportionally shaped human being of such size is ludicrous. |

| #5 Along these lines, the Michigan Historical Societyis running an unusual exhibit this summer: all of the artifacts are fakes. Back in the late 1800s, a handful of people scammed a lot of cash out of people by manufacturing crap they claimed to have dug up locally. They even planted some of them in local Indian mounds, then steered the marks to those sites so they'd be found "on site". Fortunately, they weren't very clever scammers (guys, clay pots should be baked), and every artifact they created had the same mark on it somewhere. I'm planning on getting up there to take a look at it; this is probably the only time this many of the fakes will be on display. http://www.sos.state.mi.us/history/michrelics/intro.html The really sad thing, though, is that I recently stumbled on the website of a "creation scientist" that thinks the Michigan Relics are authentic. |

| #2 You betcha. I LOVE this shit. I can't find the links, but there were some great Far Side cartoons along this line. While looking, I ran across this hysterical thread of "artifacts" supposedly found on Mars by the rovers. Check it out (the whole long thing) for some excellent laughs. |

| #1 This would explain the lack of trees in Saudi Arabia: the damn giants uprooted them all. It could also explain certain behaviour patterns we see today. Being 90 ft. tall, their heads would be closer to the sun and therefore, their brains would overheat. |
