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

Pun:
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.
At least that's my understanding.

I agree that round rooms are retarded though.
