Turtles All The Way Down

I enjoyed a moment today that would warm the heart of any geeky dad. Sitting in church this morning, the pastor told the story of his college days when he read Chariots of the Gods? and came to believe that life on Earth was seeded by aliens.  As an aside, he added that he hadn’t thought to ask the question of where the aliens came from, and if they came from aliens, then where did those aliens come from. My 11-year-old leaned over and whispered in my ear… “It’s turtles all the way down.”
