116. my answer to their myth
I have come up with an answer to the Christian creation myth...I wish to counter with the Hindu version I heard. The earth rests on the back of a turtle which stands on the back of an elephant. Somewhere I recall someone asking what the elephant is standing on; the answer was "Its elephants all the way down."

So now my answer to Creationists is "Its elephants all the way down!" Makes about as much sense. Oh, and per the preceding exchange, I consider myself a Buddhist. And I don't believe in a creator-god.

As Douglas Adams said in the Hitchhiker's Guide "space is big, really big." Do the rules of any human-devised god apply to non-carbon-based life forms in a different galaxy?
