Bank Holiday Smirk


Getting slightly sick of hearing about how the rescuing of the superstructure and art-work of Notre Dame cathedral in Paris was somehow a "miracle". Lets be clear folks, a miracle is the suspension of the laws of nature (usually in the favor of the claimant) Nothing about that fire was miraculous, wood burned and stuff obeyed the laws of gravity and thermodynamics; fire-fighters did what fire-fighters usually do which is exhibit extraordinary bravery and put their lives on the line using technology developed from human ingenuity, but nothing supernatural, anywhere. Anyone claiming that their particular God or Saint or Spirit or whatever caused the saving of this building has to also explain why that same vapor allowed the fire to happen in the first place!
