A ‘science enthusiast’ destroyed this slow-burning miracle with facts and very satisfying it was too
Over on Twitter @kayleecrain__ had a challenge for, well, a challenge for the rest of the world, basically.
If God doesn’t exist, she said (in a since deleted tweet), then how come the alter and the cross remained untouched by the fire that rampaged through Notre Dame cathedral.
And it was the test that @aSciEnthusiast has been waiting for his whole life. Well, a bit of it at least.
Or, to put it another way.
WOOD FIRE DOESN'T MELT GOLD BEAMS

Also, the fire was in the wooden roof, far above the stone-wall-surrounded alter.

stop it, it's very clearly because of magic

That’s not magic! Blasphemous. That’s holiness.

Although Redditor Masked_Death offered up this plot twist.
‘It’s not even that clever. People used to melt iron (~1500°C melting point) with charcoal (1100°C burning temperature). That being said, the cathedral is way too big to act as a crucible to melt the cross, I can’t imagine having the necessary conditions for that.’
