WOTW #7

Up for lucky number 7:
Pareidolia (ˌpæraɪˈdəʊlɪə)
— n
the imagined perception of a pattern or meaning where it does not actually exist, as in considering the moon to have human features
[C20: from para- 4  + eidolon ]


This is exactly how I feel about the "evidence" for evolution. The evidence is only peceived connections, no actual solid evidence. Whether evolution is  pareidolious (I don't actually know if that's how it's properly conjugated or not) or not, it's why I don't really believe it.
