Thank you for posting the truth. It really hurts the heart to see all this disinformation being thrown around.

Except there's only one turtle. I was assured "it's turtles all the way down."

The fact that this is a sea turtle and not like a Galapagos tortoise bothers me.

Why would it be a tortoise? What's it going to walk on, no no no, it can only be a sea turtle, swimming in the great nothingness of the universe. None of that turtles all the way down bullshit.
