I was at the Chicago Lego store today and noticed that they depict dinosaurs with humans on one of their sets ...

Many of you are aware of Carl Baugh's recent find, supposedly of human and dionsaur footprints in the same strata. And many of you are probably aware of the many legends that exist causing us to believe that dinosaurs and humans probably co-existed, including the Biblical Book of Job Chapters 40 & 41.
Anyway, I think it's obvious that they DID co-exist ... and from this box, it appears that either there is a 'renegade creationist' on the loose in the Lego art department (send out the attack dogs, Prof Dawkins), or Lego management has been to Ken Ham's Creation Museum.
Either way ... Way to go Lego! Let's get started early teaching kids the right things about science!

Let's see what other stuff from Lego I can remember...
Skeleton warriors, ninjas, aliens, those weird Bionicle guys, Harry Potter...
So yeah, whose side is Lego on again? Their own. >_>
I guess that same renegade was in the Flintstones art department, too.

If he means the infamous "Paluxy Man Tracks", that was back in the 1980's. Even creationists laugh at Baugh. The Paluxy Man Tracks are listed in "Answers In Genesis" as one of the "arguments we don't think creationists should use any more".
"Dave, are you and your little friends Carl and Ken enjoying playtime with your blocks?"
"Go 'way, Mommy! We is doing real Creation Science!"
I base my science on what I see on toy boxes.
On the flip side, the triceratops looks quite happy, even though it's about to get eaten.
That box just displays all the things I don't like about Lego's nowadays.
I don't care about the dinos and humans thing. Its that they all seem to be about only a dozen actual building blocks and the rest are all molded one-piece items. Probably costs 100 bucks, too.
because kids like dinosaurs
nothing deeper or planned
certainly not a science project
"from this box, it appears that either there is a 'renegade creationist' on the loose in the Lego art department"
The same one who made the Flintstones? Seriosly, kids just love dinosaurs. the animals that actually existed with cavemen where cool but they still pale in comparison to T-rex and pterodactyls.
And LEGOs also show space colonies, and there are Star Wars sets.
I guess they're teaching kids about being good Jedis?
@Mayhem: That's because it's Duplo, the Lego stuff for the younger kids (i.e. 3-6, like it states on the box). It's not "nowadays", Duplo stuff was /always/ like this, mostly solid one-piece "bricks". And I know, I played with Duplo 20 years ago (in fact, most of my old stuff should still be in my parents' basement :)).

He is the cuteness that comes in the night!
I fucking love Lego.
Not playing with it, though. I just like putting it together. That's why I was always ecstatic whenever my brother got a sheet of Lego blueprints for, like, military choppers and the Titanic and shit. He loved playing with them, but not building them, so that meant I could sit down for hours with a tub of Lego and build fake weapons of mass destruction. Or victims of mass destruction, in the Titanic's case.
Of course, I'm not entirely sure what any of that has to do with Creationism.
I honestly dont see anything about creationism or science on this toy.. I just see some cool looking toys that a kid might want. Its more in the fashion of "flintstones" than "Job" in my opinion. honestly, why do you have to inject your religious conspiracy theories onto everything you see.. why cant a thought of "it doesnt have to be history, all it has to be is fun" when you look at this toy?
"Many of you are aware of Carl Baugh's recent find, supposedly of human and dionsaur footprints in the same strata. "
Are you also aware the AIG said you should not use this "evidence" because it makes you look even more stupid than you already are?
"and from this box, it appears that either there is a 'renegade creationist' on the loose in the Lego art department"
Maybe, but considering that it's the "art department", it's, you know, ARTISTICALLY REPRESENTED, WITH A GREAT AMOUNT OF ARTISTIC LICENSE.
"Many of you are aware of Carl Baugh's recent find,"

Lego also has ghost, alien, futuristic space craft and star wars toys. Guess that means that all of those things are real.
What this box clearly proves is that dinosaurs had little slots on their backs that corresponded with slots on other dinosaur's bellies, allow giant human children to stack them effectively without risk of having them fall over.
Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. Job 40:16
Why the hell would a dinosaur have a navel???
...Or maybe Leg's just cashing in on a very popular fantasy?
Seriously, how the hell does a Lego set prove anything?!
I fucking love Lego. The assignment I had in grade 9 where I had to build a castle out of Lego fucking ruled. Two hours to build a fucking awesome as Hell castle.
I have Lego of knights, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, pirates, pirate skeletons, pirate ghosts and dragons.
Does that mean all of that were real? I know knights and pirates were but TMNT, undead and dragons? I don't think so.
[Let's get started early teaching kids the right things about science! ]
I'm sorry, but Bedrock isn't real.
Jesus Fucking Christ. I just have to other way to convey how mind-bogglingly, overarchingly, astonishingly, headbuttingly fucking stupid this is.
No, really. It is impossible to credit that anyone over the age of 5 could actually mean what this fucking cunt wrote.
In fact, I think my eyes have just started to bleed and I can feel my brain throwing up in my head.
So, Hogwart's Castle really does exist, then?

It's make-believe, stupid; the very opposite of science!

Therefore thank you for admitting that the "Stargate" film & TV series are documentaries then.
Even the good Dr. Stuart Ashen would use all his Doug Piranha-esque powers of Sarcasm - and the Brown Sofa of Dreams - to tear apart your claims, Daviepoos: perhaps use the Blowtorch on them; as he has an obsession - as well as for handheld games consoles - for Lego figures, he has said that he would never burn knockoff Lego, ergo...! >:D
As it's not appearing in my previous post, here's that Lego Stargate in all it's symbol ring-rotating, chevron-lighting glory:

Not even the original inventor of such an enduring construction toy in Denmark decades ago could have imagined what could be done with their product: and an imagination.
Therefore the System Lords, Goa'uld, Tok'ra, and the likes of Teal'c exist then, amirite...?!
They must do, according to your logic Dave-o.
Human and dinosaur footprints together, debunked so completely that even Answers in Genesis tells people not to use that baloney. Caveman legos with dinosaurs don't really worry me too much, because I believe in real education rather than toy education.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
