Whenever I face a hard decision or a risky situation in life (personally or professionally), all my thinking, all my analysis, all my planning can be boiled down to four simple questions: 1. What is the best thing that can happen if I do this? 2. What is the worst thing that can happen if I do this? 3. What is the best thing that can happen if I don't do it? 4. What is the worst thing that can happen if I don't do it? View quote

My own personal theory is that Joseph built the pyramids to store grain. Now all the archaeologists think that they were made for the pharaohs' graves. But, you know, it would have to be something awfully big if you stop and think about it. And I don't think it'd just disappear over the course of time to store that much grain. And when you look at the way that the pyramids are made, with many chambers that are hermetically sealed, they'd have to be that way for a reason. And various scientists have said, "Well, you know there were alien beings that came down and they have special knowledge and that's how they were”-you know, it doesn't require an alien being when God is with you.
