  • LOL I love the last photo.

  • As Dawkins puts it. We tend to see familiarity in random shapes. You often mistake a shadow for a burglar, but rarely a burglar for a shadow. Animals that mistake predators for shadows tend not to be as successful as those who experience false positives.

    Mistake a shadow for a burglar you waste 5 minutes of your life. Mistake a burglar for shadow and you might lose your life.

    It's beneficial, until it is used in religion that is :-)

  • Quite.

  • Yes, it's nonsense. That's exactly why I chose the photo of the dog's butt. It's mohammud/jesus christ. My dog's butt looks like Bjork in an anorak.

  • Apophenia, a form of Pareidolia, is a type 1 statistical error ie a false positive

    Some related phenomena are - Clustering illusion, Confirmation bias, Delusions of reference, Forer effect, Reality tunnel, Synchronicity...etc

    This is a miracle for Atheists watch?v=RVFpjj594IQ
