^^^ While I would rephrase the first statement, "Religion has been the inspiration for for many of the greatest structures in the history of man", the point is well taken and provides an important counterpoint for all making unequivocal claims. All who would assert "Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" are doomed for ultimate disappointment - whether their inspiration is divine or scientific.

At the same time, and for perspective, however, let's look at that space station in a couple hundred years.

Sorry for the momentary intrusion of thought into the thread - back to pictures of cats, pigs and air horns!
