Reply #39: It's turtles all the way down

[Az]

There is an old story about a researcher talking to an old native about creation stories. The legend goes that the particular group believed that the world rested on the back of a great turtle (not atuin). When asked what the turtle was standing on the old native replied "Thought you'd catch me there didn't you, well it's turtles all the way down".

This story itself is not a religion. But it is part of a religion. As such teaching it would constitute either teaching humanities or religion. The same applies to creationism. It's turtles all the way down.
