Obvious heretical teaching there; it shows a tortoise, not the correct
turtle swimming though the depths of space.

Time to get out the tar and feathers, boys...
OK, how deep is the water and what's at the bottom?


Space has no bottom, obviously, you heretic.


OK, now I'm having a problem. The Earth is flat, and I have heard
space is curved, those must be some flexible turtles.


Nah. Remember The earth is at the bottom of a gravity well. Now, while it
may be a "bottom-less" pit, turtles are admirably suited to brace themselves
against the sides of it. As long as it's big enough to reach the side with
all four limbs, that is.
