Pattern recognition is a remarkable feature of humans. Our ability to sift through all experience and apply pattern similarity is in every sense remarkable. The interpretation of these pattern similarities is entirely up to the beholder at that point.

Hi doma,

Yep. I watched the clip.

For me, weathering is the most likely explanation of a foot-shaped imprint in granite.

I agree it is foot-shaped but I don't think a foot made it, any more than I think the Blessed Virgin Mary is responsible for an imprint on a pancake which looks like her. Nature throws up shapes which resemble things we know.

When folks point to a bearded image, I usually suggest it is not Jesus, but Darwin.
