A modern man tried to explain an airplane to a cave man. He says it's like a man made bird. The caveman understands it a little. He's then told that it's also like a flying boat. The caveman understands it better. Scientific theories are like that. So are Religious dogmas.

Hmm, yeah. I don't think "angel of death coming to sate its bloodlust by bringing flesh-melting destruction down on you" is a useful description of an airplane.

Some metaphors are better than others.
