  1. New Official BAT Request Thread

    Here's the one building I'd like to see more than anything on here... The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., the mother church of the United States of America, and the largest church by volume in North America.
  2. Tower of the Americas

    If you decide to create Joske's, it wouldn't be complete without St. Joseph's, though that would probably only be functional as a landmark if the church is part of it.
  3. Tower of the Americas

    It's wonderful; 10/10 as usual. As with the Tower Life building, I will somehow have to find the restraint to not build this in every single city. If you take requests, I'd like to see the Emily Morgan Hotel and the San Fernando Cathedral.
  4. New Official BAT Request Thread

    St. Peter's Basilica / The Vatican
  5. Tower Life Building

    I can't resist the temptation to build this in every city I make.
  6. Casino Club

    It's wonderful. Could you do San Fernando Cathedral next?
  7. Argyre Planitia East from MOLA MEGDR Data

    It's good, but it's not 24 km^2. It's actually 576 square kilometers, or you could do (24 km)^2, and square the number with the km. I'll give you a good rating, but you get a thumbs down for the math.
  8. Kim Jong Il dying?

    Why won't Fidel Castro die? He's been there forever. He's like a dinosaur or something.
  9. Creationism vs. Evolution

    I would just like to make a few points clear that I believe are missing from this discussion. We should also consider the billions of "random" mutation that have create the species Homo sapiens. The sheer odds of this happening could possibly point to an outside entity that drives evolution in some sense. Most leading scientists, including Darwin and Einstein, believe(d) that a higher power is the most reasonable underlying explanation for most biological, chemical, and physical phenomena. We can attempt to describe the manner in which things occur, but in the grand scheme of things, if you really think about it, it doesn't make sense without God. For those that try to use the Bible to disprove evolution or prove creationism: The official stance of the Roman Catholic Church, according to the Vatican, is that Genesis and the rest of the Old Testament were written after centruies of oral tradition. The Book of Genesis is meant to be interpreted metaphorically. The Church does not believe that God created the world in six days. Those six days are part of a metaphor that is used to suggest that God created the Earth. We will never know exactly how the world was created. In Genesis there are two creation stories. The second comes much later in the book. Which one are we to go by? The Roman Catholic Church supports the Theory of Evolution. The theories surrounding the formation of life and earth show events occuring in a manner similar to which the Bible has them in. Nowhere in the Bible does it explicity say how God created the world and life. It simply says that he did it. Catholics believe that Evolution is simply the means by which God created the human race. We do not believe in a purely Creationist ideology and there is no evidence to support such though. In my opinion, there is not legitimate debate on whether Evolution is valid or not. The true debate is whether there is a higher being or not, and that is a personal decision you must make.

  11. Functioning Gateway Arch

    It's off center.
  12. Shanghai World Financial Center

  13. Bucky Ball Statue

    Its the state molecule of Texas!
  14. SearsTower

    Finally! There's a decent version of this wonderful building!
  15. Official BAT Request Thread

    There are many buildings that I am surprised that no one has released on this site yet. Here's a few: Texas State Capital ( It is slightly taller than the US Capital / Please make it that way) The National Cathedral in Washington The Pentagon Trinity Church in NYC The Vatican / St. Peter's Basilica (Please include St. Peter's Square) Burj Dubai Chicago's proposed Fordham Spire New York's Freedom Tower Sydney Opera House ( I know one exists, but I really would like a decent one)
  16. Cathedral

    It just really isn't any good.
  17. NexisRenaissanceCathedral

    It's horrible. Even if it is was done without the BAT, that dosn't mean that it should be revered as great. With what's out there now, much better can be done.
  18. Bahrain WTC

    Loojs great, but the lights look a little fake.
  19. NDEX RailtoSubway Transition
