Science proves the existence of angels

Of course it doesn't, but people of faith need the approval of reality, so they come up up with all sorts of fantasy tales to prove their fantasies.

Science Confirms: Angels Took the House of Our Lady of Nazareth to Loreto

At a conference organized by the “Amici del Timone” Cultural Center in Staggia Senese, Italy, titled “The Story of the Incredible Move of the House of Mary of Nazareth to Loreto,” a topic was developed which challenges engineering.

Indeed, the Holy House, birthplace of Our Lady and where the Archangel Gabriel announced to her the Incarnation, has been for many centuries in the town of Loreto (Santa Casa di Loreto), in the Marche region of Italy, facing the Adriatic Sea.

However, the Annunciation took place in Nazareth, in the Holy Land, where the foundations of the Holy House remain to this day. When compared with the dimensions and characteristics of the Loreto House, they match perfectly; but the similarities and concordances do not end there.

How did the Holy House take off, so to speak, from its foundations and reappear about 2,000 miles away, where it remains intact to this day?

"Some, denying the angelic translation, went so far as to fabricate a story that a fanciful princely family from Epirus named “Angeli” had dismantled the house and transported it brick by brick at the request of the Crusaders facing the destructive advance of Muslims."

It's not really in keeping with the humble description of her in the Gospels, I think. Pretty fancy little home for Nazareth, it looks like to me. It looks more like a Renaissance building from Firenza or Venice, somehow. I don't think it's in the style of 1 CE Nazareth. I call bullshit on the whole thing, based just on that.
