Coincidence | Kircher | Gould II 75 Coincidence/Explanation/Science/Athanasius Kircher/Gould: In 1678 Athanasius Kircher published a drawing of e.g. Fossils, which show the letters of the alphabet. Later someone showed an agate showing Jesus on the cross. GouldVsKircher, Athanasius: something like this can happen by chance, one can recognize such figures just as well as one can interpret clouds as forms. |
