Move Over, Virgin Mary. Someone Found Charles Darwin in an Eye Scan

If the Virgin Mary can turn up on grilled cheese, and Jesus can be found in a dog’s butt, then it only makes sense for Charles Darwin to appear on an eye scan:

The good news is that Christopher McCleary, the ophthalmic technician who spotted it, is well aware that his mind is just playing tricks on him:

“This was a fantastic example of pareidolia, where our minds make us see a familiar shape when it doesn’t actually exist.

“Given the number of religious figures who feature in media reports of pareidolia, we thought that it was very appropriate that our high-tech scanning equipment found one of history’s most important scientists.”

That’s something you’ll never hear from someone who spots a religious icon in unexpected places…
