"It really is terribly simple,
1) models with predictive capability are of utility.
2) Science is in a class of its own, a process without competitors, when it comes to its ability to form such models.
So where is the problem? These are observations that not only essentially everyone agrees with, but practically EVERYONE eagerly embraces, most notably in tasting the sweet fruits of science, such as modern civilization.
However religion, a model with no demonstrable predictive utility, remains prevalent within mankind.
The bizarre thing is that all these people who engage in religion must realize what a good model looks like as they use them everyday of their life. Convergent models with predictive capability are the good one... the ones they chose to use. Yet still, peculiarly, these folks still embrace religion which is evidently divergent with no demonstrable predictive utility". -

10 - Ganesh Plant
Sam Lal, of Jamaica, Queens, believes a flower in his backyard has naturally grown to resemble the Hindu god Ganesh, who has an elephant-like form.
9 - The Virgin Mary snack
Law clerk John Mize claimed that a pair of Funyuns, an onion-flavored snack food, resembled the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus. He auctioned the food off on eBay and the winning bidder offered $609.
8 - Virgin Mary Puddle
A Mexican woman touches a puddle of water believed to be an image of the Virgin of Guadalupe on June 4, 1997. A broken water pipeline caused the puddle to appear in a subway station in Mexico City. About 20,000 people visited the site per day following its appearance.
7 - The Burnt Virgin Mary
An apparition of the Virgin Mary appeared in a fire-damaged home in Mexico, Maine in 2005. Three months later, homeowner Veronica Dennis auctioned the likeness on eBay to pay her bills.
6 - The hand of God
It looks like a hand of a (lets not be biased here, there are 10,000+ other gods out there!) God reaching out into the cosmos, but scientists say it's something just as incredible: electromagnetic energy pumped out by a neutron star.
5 - Baking tray Mary
An image of the Virgin Mary appeared on a baking pan in Houston, Texas in 2007. A cafeteria worker discovered the image while cleaning the dishes from lunch on Ash Wednesday at a local elementary school. Numerous visitors came to visit the image, which was put on display in the front yard of a home a few blocks away.
4 - Pressure washed Jesus
A Christlike image appeared on the outside wall of a church in Bradenton, Fla. after a pressure washing in 2000. Hundreds of curious onlookers came to view the 15-high figure.
3 - The Thompson Jesus Pancake
In early February 2006, Mike Thompson of Beachwood, Ohio claimed that the visage of Jesus appeared on a pancake he?d made while preparing breakfast for his family. Thompson was paraphrased by News Channel 5 of Cleveland, Ohio as saying the image the Lord?s face was a sign from above.
He posted the alleged Holy Pancake on eBay with an opening bid of $500. The bidding reached $14,999.00 before the listing was removed for violating eBay?s listing rules.
Later, Thompson?s listing resurfaced on eBay after the rules violation, and continued it's bid of $15,000. You can read more on the outcome of the Thompson Jesus Pancake here.
2 - The firey Pope John Paul II
A bonfire atop Matyska mountain in southern Poland took an auspicious shape in 2007, leading locals to believe it resembled the silhouette of late Pope John Paul II, above l., making a blessing. The picture was taken by amateur photographer Grzegorz Lukasik during a vigil marking the second anniversary of the Polish pope's death.
1 - Grilled cheese sandwich Virgin Mary
Perhaps the most famous food-related sighting of religious symbolism in recent times is a likeness of the Virgin Mary that appeared on a grilled cheese sandwich. Florida resident Diana Duyser discovered the image after she?d taken a bite from the sandwich. For 10 years, Duyser kept the partially eaten Holy Sandwich in a clear plastic box on her night stand. In 2004, she sold the sandwich on eBay to GoldenPalace.com, an Internet casino, for $28,000. GoldenPalace.com is the same company that made another well-publicized purchase. They bought William Shatner's Kidney Stone.
And a bonus - Jesus appears on the arse end of a dog
Jesus can come in all shapes and sizes, so the below one shouldn't be discounted either!

Study finds power of prayer to be false
A study of more than 1,800 patients who underwent heart bypass surgery has failed to show that prayers specially organized for their recovery had any impact, researchers said on Thursday.
In fact, the study found some of the patients who knew they were being prayed for did worse than others who were only told they might be prayed for -- though those who did the study said they could not explain why.
The patients in the study at six U.S. hospitals included 604 who were actually prayed for after being told they might or might not be; another 597 patients who were not prayed for after being told they might or might not be; and a group of 601 who were prayed for and told they would be the subject of such prayer.
The praying was done by members of three Christian groups in monasteries and elsewhere -- two Catholic and one Protestant -- who were given written prayers and the first name and initial of the last name of the prayer subjects. The prayers started on the eve of or day of surgery and lasted for two weeks.
Among the first group - who were prayed for but only told they might be -- 52 percent had post-surgical complications compared to 51 percent in the second group, the ones who were not prayed for though told they might be. In the third group, who knew they were being prayed for, 59 percent had complications.
After 30 days, however, the death rates and incidence of major complications was about the same across all three groups, said the study published in the American Heart Journal.
Complications after surgery
"Intercessory prayer itself had no effect on whether complications occurred (and) patients who were certain that intercessors would pray for them had a higher rate of complications than patients who were uncertain but did receive intercessory prayer," the study said.
There is "no clear explanation" for the latter finding, it added.
The study - called the largest of its kind -- was designed only to try to measure the impact of intercessory prayer on heart surgery patients, an intervention that some earlier reports had showed seemed to be beneficial."Our study was never intended to address the existence of God or the presence or absence of intelligent design in the universe" or to compare the efficacy of one prayer form over another, said the Rev. Dean Marek, director of chaplain services at the Mayo Clinic, one of the authors.
The patients in the study had similar religious profiles with most believing in spiritual healing and almost all also thinking that friends or relatives would be praying for them as well, he said.
"One caveat is that with so many individuals receiving prayer from friends and family, as well as personal prayer, it may be impossible to disentangle the effects of study prayer from background prayer," Manoj Jain of Baptist Memorial Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee, another author of the report.
The authors said one possible limitation to their study was that those doing the special praying had no connection or acquaintance with the subjects of their prayer, which would not usually be the norm.
"Private or family prayer is widely believed to influence recovery from illness, and the results of this study do not challenge this belief," the report concluded.

The public trusts scientistsbut not their conclusions.
by whereami inhaving just finished reading an interesting article on public opinion regarding science, i felt some of you guys might be interested in reading it.. funnily enough, an old quote came to mind whilst reading it.. there are in fact two things, science and opinion; the former begets knowledge, the latter ignorance.. hippocrates (460 bc - 377 bc).
the public trusts scientists - but not their conclusion .
in recent decades, the us has had an ambiguous relationship with science.
