My boss (the annoyingly positive guy) claims there are ancient australian aboriginal cave paintings of jesus birth, think he said it was 4000 years old or something....
Anyone heard anything about this?

How did these aboriginals in Australia, know about events to occur in Jerusalem two-thousand years in advance?

Alright that was a bad angle of attack, let me try another tact.

let's grant that this cave drawing exists. Cave art is not exactly known for photographic realism, so how can one justify the interpretaion of it being Jesus?

or you could just take salamut2202 advice and ask him proof or GTFO

Easy, claim the guy on the painting is Mohammed, it's not like the cave paintings are precise enough to distinguish one bearded semite for another.

Also...

This article says that the aborigines were making cave paintings even in the 19th century

For example, these depict the English ships of the said era, which the aborigines must've seen and decided to paint on a rock.
So, why the fuck not Jesus? There were missionaries and churches - maybe one of the aborigines was influenced by it and painted it. But it doesn't make the painting 4000 years old, of course.

I did mention that a painting of a birth could be of anyone but he said there was the star and the wisemen n crap....

The fact that i cant find any info or picture of this makes the whole story very unlikely, and if it was true then alot of christians would be using it against atheists all the time :P

Theres also the Noah's ark and similar things that they claim they have found which is allways proven to be false...

and trip...wtf is that picture of?:P seems like a reverse centaur with wings xD

It is Jesus.
On a cross.
With horse's head.
Excuse me while I extract all the fuck from my mind now.
Oh, it's an anti-christian graffito, this explains everything!

He does realize that the 'carvings' could be portraying anyone with a beard,right?

If Jesus was born in Sparta, he would be probably thrown off that cliff.
