Ugh, I really need to head to bed. If you (theVOID) can clarify two issues for me, I will do the "God proof" in the morning.
1. How do you know the pyramids require a builder and did not arise by naturalistic processes?
2. Just the point about how you know it was the Egyptian empire that claimed to build the pyramids.
Once those are clarified we should be good to go! Night!
Wait wait, I was heading to bed until I saw this. Are you saying you can't prove the Egyptians built the pyramids but you believe they did anyways? Are you also saying that the reason you believe this is because of evidnece against anyone else building them? So you are using disjunctive reasoning? Evidence against A equals B when A and B are the only two options. The same reasoning everyone else flamed me for using? Somehow I doubt you will get flamed for using it though.

I'm no expert (or even really that interested in architecture and history), but off the top of my head there are edicts demanding their construction for burial chambers in some of the 100+ pyramids, there are the orders from the persist/chancellor to Djoser, Imhotep, of whom there are heirogliphics related to moving rocks, crude methods of leverage and papyrus with anatomy, architecture, leverage devices etc.
There are also hieroglyphs of pyramid construction specifically.

If you dig around you'll find a few more.

I already said I can't prove that humans built the pyramid, what I presented was an argument against any other intervention or claim to the title of architect or builder. My argument makes the ancient Egyptians the only group that you can be justified in believing to have built the pyramids.
That is if the premises are all true. I'm pretty sure that if you could demonstrate otherwise you should get a prize from some official organisation
