On the other hand, if that same statue were found on a modest hill in the New York countryside, we're not going to say, "Aha! Aliens!" If the path up from the bottom can reach the goal, the path down from the top is eliminated by Occam's razor. The path from the bottom up, ceteris paribus, is far more probable. We don't consider relationships to the mundane to be "religious."
