When looking at the gowns and gadgets of the clergy, the similarity with the plumage of the peacock is striking, both phenomena being overt examples of Nature's splendour that paradoxical as it may seem, has gained value for the survival and promotion of the two species. It is clear to me that religion is an inexorable expense that evolution has been willing to pay, at least hitherto, for the creation of an intelligent being who eventually must fathom the conundrum of the limits of time, space and energy. I will follow the home page and the progress of your project with great interest. Good luck!
