A Religious Sect

[To the undoubted relief of the few souls following this blog, this is the final entry in the Ammonite Series.]

Ammonites are members of a religious sect, "Ammonia," which hold as its fundamental principle the harmony of science and religion. Ammonites believe that if there is an apparent conflict between science and faith, either the relevant branch of science is still in the process of discovering the truth, or the religious adherents are clinging to materialistic and narrow interpretations of the teachings of their faith.

One of their chief arguments is to point out the thousands of natural objects and phenomenon which grow or appear in a spiral form, which is based on a mathematical formula. From pineapple whorls to pine cones, sea creatures to nebula, there are countless objects which form this shape. Ammonites view this as a profound sign of intelligence in the universe. Their religious symbol is a spiral, and they subsist principally on goat's milk.

I myself have been looking forward to your Ammonites posts. My funnybone, as well as my curiosity, have been tickled since you started this series.
