I would tend to err on their side of the arguement and say that it takes more than faith alone to do that s...

Yeah, the heat goes to the top of the dome, but it does that in a square house. The difference is the top of a dome is smaller than the top of a square, so it takes less to heat the top of a dome.

I agree that round rooms are retarded though.
