Very I'm a die-hard Creationist who happily admits to your so called 'intellectual laziness' and who is -very- proud of it (considering what you meant by that phrase) Isn't it amazing though, according to all of you (or at least the evolutionists that I've talked to in the past) we should all be getting smarter, yet even the most brilliant today don't know how they built the pyramids or stonehedge without our fantasic modern equipment.. they're not even sure how the pyramids were built, period! And yet we're all so very intellectual and smart! Survival of the fittest at work, yes indeedy.

The amazing part about the pyramids is that the base is almost perfectly square. I bet they're so large because they kept measuring them and kept adding until they were sized properly.

Actually, current thought is that the pyramids were massive public works projects done by regular citizens (mainly farmers), not slaves, during periods when the Nile was in inundation. The only real confusion about how it was done has to do with the exact methods of getting the blocks raised to successively higher levels -- by a single long ramp, by a "corscrew" ramp following the contours of the pyramid, by hoisting levers, or what.
Who begins an (already weak) argument by claiming "intellectual laziness"?
First of all, we do know how they were built.
I guess AmericanGirl didn't see that doco on national geographic detailing exactly how stonehenge was built...
There probably isn't much point in me saying it as everyone who will read this already knows, but in the few thousand years since the construction of the pyramids, the human brain has evolved so little that there is no percievable difference. Our technology advances because we build opon the collective knowlege of those before us, not because we get smarter.
Well if you cracked a science book instead of being proud of your ignorance you might realize that evolution never promised we’d get smarter. Evolution can go backwards. Example: If you and your family moved into a dark cave on a permanent basis and started procreating, around the time of your one hundredth generation later your offspring would no longer be born with eyes or pigment. If there’s no selective pressure for light sensing organs and UV protecting cover they’d go away. In other word; use it or lose it. I’m pretty sure the same is true for your brain (in fact I suspect this process has already begun for you.)
If you don’t believe me you’re welcome to try moving in the cave, it’ll be a nice change for the rest of us.

Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
