They understood that the connection between the unseen and visible was through geometry.

		<description><![CDATA[Do you think it’s a coincidence that no one fingerprint is the same? Is there meaning in this ‘coincidence’? It goes beyond our comprehension when we attempt to envision an infinite variation of fingerprints. You might be more comfortable with the scenario of recycled fingerprints. Suppose there was a global archive of all the fingerprints [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thebrownleafinstitute.com&amp;blog=10549934&amp;post=224&amp;subd=thebrownleafinstitute&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
