Turtles All The Way Down

A well-known scientist once gave a public lecture on astronomy. At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: "What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise." The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, "What is the tortoise standing on?" "You're very clever, young man, very clever", said the old lady. "But it's turtles all the way down!" Stephen Hawking 'A Brief History of Time'

This is what we believe

'This is what we believe' is based on the song 'Future' by Colony 5. It is a response to those who think the non-religious have nothing to believe in. The video is also a tribute to all women and men who advocate a secular worldview, free from religious dogma and other supernatural beliefs and a celebration of science and reason. Many of them will feature in the blog.
