Above us only sky...

The glory of the 'heavens' above us are real, their starry splendour is visible to those who look up; but the glory of 'Heaven' is a sad delusion of human minds.
This is the personal blog site of an atheist astronomer.

Wise words

"We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further."
Richard Dawkins
