Pareidolia and Jesus on a Tortilla
http://www.roadsideamerica.com/attract/NMLAKtortilla.html
Pareidolia is a "perception of pattern and meaning from natural randomness" and is a type of delusion that can explain many believed odd or miraculous occurrences. These include UFO sightings, Bigfoot, all the various religious figures seen in everyday objects such as a tortilla, Elvis sightings and the "Face on Mars". However, to use a psychiatric term to presumptuously categorize all such events could be disingenuous at times. Perhaps of all the pareidoliac sightings there are really some that deserve a second and third look to uncover something truly amazing. The problem is, which such sightings do we pick to investigate?
