Isn't it Ironic?

So the "Best Science Images of 2008" were released and an Honorable Mention went to the following illustration, "Visualizing the Bible." Which is just ironic to me since most people have this thought that the bible, or Christianity, and science don't go together. Check it out though. It's pretty cool.



A colorful rainbow brings to light the interconnected nature of one of the world's most familiar books.

The Bible's 1,189 chapters are plotted along the horizontal axis at the bottom of the image, with each bar's length determined by the number of verses.

The arcs above the graph show the 63,779 cross-references between each chapter.

"It almost looks like one monolithic volume," said Carnegie Mellon's Chris Harrison, who--along with Christoph Romhild of North Elbian Evangelical Lutheran Church in Hamburg, Germany--won an honorable mention for illustrations in the 2008 International Science and Engineering Visualization Challenge.
