A fractal is a natural phenomenon or a mathematical set that exhibits a repeating pattern that displays at every scale. It is also known as expanding symmetry or evolving symmetry. If the replication is exactly the same at every scale, it is called a self-similar pattern. An example of this is the Menger Sponge.Fractals can also be nearly the same at different levels. This latter pattern is illustrated in the magnifications of the Mandelbrot set. Fractals also include the idea of a detailed pattern that repeats itself

Probably because, in the Mediaeval world, the universe is going round in circles; the planets in small circles, the stars in a much larger circle.

Maybe it just took the artists imagination.
Maybe you should google the image and research it yourself, that's what anyone who would really like to know would do.

So no, the bible is not spiritual. It is science, power and control.

The image you posted doesn't show any fractals. Just because you think it bears a passing resemblance to the Mandelbrot set does not make it so. And this:

...Is utterly laughable, and only serves to show your confirmation bias and remarkable ignorance of science.

I am confused? Why is God/Jesus doing geometry in this image. From a Medieval bible?
I thought the bible was religion? Not geometry?
