Lol bullshit. The statue has a concrete base. Do you have any idea how much pressure the water would have to be under to overcome the acceleration of gravity, travel up though the concrete base, then up the statue, yeah water diffuses everyone knows that. But it can't defy physics. If that's how it worked then any boat dock in the world would be leaking water everywhere. If there was so much pressure to push the water out it would just be running out on the ground around the concrete base of the statue. And the sanctuary would be falling down from a ruined, washed out foundation.

Wow, your stupidity when it comes to basic scientific principles is quite impressive. But, let me try to break down your nonsense:
1) From the brief closeups of the statute in the video, I didn't see any concrete base, but it doesn't really matter. Concrete is itself porous, and is perfectly capable of having water move up it via surface capillary action, if left untreated with some form of sealant or non-porous material:
Opposite to what one might expect, capillary action prefers small holes or pores, rather than larger ones. Large pore sizes, such as those found in some forms of pea gravel and coarse sand, can actually serve to break the flow of capillary water. Smaller pores though, such as those found in concrete and brick, provide excellent paths for such wicking action to occur.
Since concrete is commonly used in building foundations, we often see evidence of capillarity in basements and crawlspaces. The concrete footings wick the water up from the ground, where it then travels up the foundation wall. Evidence of capillary action is often seen on many older brick foundations as a white line visible a foot or so above the ground. This white line is caused by a process known as efflorescence, which occurs when water that is drawn up by capillary action evaporates, leaving behind a residue of salts, minerals, and other materials. Plastic sheeting placed in footing holes prior to pouring of concrete can help to prevent groundwater wicking.
2) Again, water isn't "defying physics" by moving upwards against gravity; if so, tall plants would be fucked, since they wouldn't be able to transport water up to the tallest branches from the roots. As long as the potential energy gradient for water to move up a surface via capillary action is greater than the gravitational energy pulling it down, the water will move up. If water can move up a tree as tall as a redwood ( around 300 ft/ 27 stories), then I don't think it'd be much trouble to move up a 20 foot tall statue.3) As for your boat dock reference, water does travel up concrete pylons via capillary action; that is why you can see damp concrete well above water line. It tends to be minimal when the sun is out heating the concrete up and evaporating water off of it, but it is more pronounced during twilight hours and overcast days. That's why pylons tend to be made with treated lumber or reinforced concrete composed of hydraulic cement.
4) And as for the foundation, you answered your own question. Why do you think that construction companies tend to waterproof concrete basements and foundations in the first place? Because they are soluble to moisture. Pressure has very little to do with it. It's just the nature of how the building materials interract with the moisture in the surrounding environment.

Thought this was funny even though I am throwing red meat to the science worshippers. Actually science is great and technology and everything else humans have come up with to improve our lives but in the end we have only been able to accomplish things because of what was given to us. We were able to build a box because the wood and tools were supplied.

God isn't going to fix that we can't fix ourselves. War, sickness and poverty are all fixable. The rest is up to Him. That's what we believe.

I heard a crackheads story one time. I overheard it at the truckstop. This crackhead was trying to preach to everyone and asking for money. The story....Pharapharsing of course...
I worked as a cook in a missionary. We were broke and there was seven of us that needed to eat. There was only 5 pieces of chicken I put in the oven. We prayed then opened the oven and there were seven pieces of chicken and we all ate!
I told him to get out and get on down the road are would have to physically have him removed from the premises.

When I was stationed at ACU-1 in Coronado, CA we had LCU'S (Landing Craft Utility). They are large landing craft that can hold tanks, trucks, etc. They have a permanent crew attached and embark on Amphib ships for deployments. They each have a cook assigned and a small galley. This one dumb ass cook washed the chicken in the dishwasher (with soap). I found out about it and talked to the CO and had him removed from the boat. Later found out that he also had ACTIVE Syphilis.
