And the Space Needle, famous Space Needle in Seattle, was named that because it was built for the World's Fair for the theme, Man in Space.

So the biggest celebrity in space travel that year was a cosmonaut, a Russian cosmonaut named German Titov.

He was the first guy to actually go into orbit.

And so he was in Seattle for this whole thing.

It was like press all over the place.

And my dad tells me about this.

So German Tito was asked by a journalist, so what'd you see?

Because he was looking at the space.

So what'd you see?

And he did this, well, that wasn't the question, but he answered it like this.

He was a good Soviet, right?

A good Soviet atheist.

He said, I pointed my telescope out into space and I saw neither God nor angels.

It's like, proof they don't exist.

And my dad said, that's as idiotic as saying, I looked at Picasso's painting all day long and didn't find evidence of Picasso.

So the truth is, creator and creation, they work in harmony with each other.

And just because you're science-based doesn't mean you shouldn't also be faith-based.

And if you stand in awe of the creation, you gotta wonder about the creator.

And if you really love the creator, you better be interested in the creation.

So what I have trouble with a lot are really, really religious people that aren't interested in science.
