Iggy,

You can't do this to me! You can't just post pictures of a giant skeleton without some details. Who, when, where, how? Dude, I won't be able to sleep tonight!!!!!!
It's the Nephilim! Actually a very clever cut and paste job. Compare the shadow of the guys in the white shirts to other items. The guys in the white were there at noonish while the rest of the image shows long afternoon,l early evening shadowing.

The others posted after the first grouping I couldn't tell you if real or a hoax. Do some googling and you'll find there is a plethora of giants world wide found at various times in history.

Sure looks cool.

What do you do now?
I'm retired now. I used to run the scientific and technical computing shop for a fairly large exploration team, seems a very long time ago now. That's not the job I retired from, but it was my last professional contact with the earth sciences. I moved over into data telecom and networking systems when they first began to be a routine part of doing business, more or less by default, I think: nobody else seemed willing to take it on at the time, or even perceive that somebody needed to take it on.

The Improbability of God seems dwarfed by the improbability of the universe. I wonder if afterall the problem might not be the improbability of mankind. I'll be retireing at the end of this month, the studs must come off.

But at least we know the universe and mankind are here, unless you're going to take the extreme solipsist position.
Mankind getting sloppy seconds in what kinda position and we'll feel it?

That sounds just like a religion.

There is some talk that the universe has a nerve system of sorts and a similarly posited plasma circulatory system. I figure god and the universe are one and the same. So we was assembled from existing parts by the universe. What else god? Ha Any argument there? I dosen't think so. We was kreated by the universe perhaps. Dosen't evolution kreate kreatures? I'm afraid we are sort of evolutionarily stuck with the god concept for a while yet I rekon Festus. Some sort of spiritual connection is required to enable handling of the 99.9999999999% we will always quess at, there is no way to get out in front of the universe or even approach catching up to get a climps of the tail-lights. Maybe I'm just going soft on god.

Oh, no!! The rabbit's dead!! Who's going to lay the eggs? Maybe, "God" will.
Dead, how long, looks like last years kill. Forget the eggs, bake some unleavened bread, eat while standing (like you might have to ditch in a hurry) AKA the real passover and if nothing happens by 5 after midnight sit back an relax for another year, or day, or whatever..

We're okay! There's lamb's blood on our lintel!
Apparently you didn't get the update, blood sacrifice is a no-no. Another one sent for a 1,000 year timeout, see how easy it is to get bumped? lol
Isa:66:3:
He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man;
he that sacrificeth a lamb,
as if he cut off a dog's neck;
he that offereth an oblation,
as if he offered swine's blood;
he that burneth incense,
as if he blessed an idol.
Yea,
they have chosen their own ways,
and their soul delighteth in their abominations.
