Gong - Flying Teapot
Gong Flying Teapot
Flying Teapot - Radio Gnome Invisible, Pt. 1 Charly Records 2006

The "flying teapot" was inspired by philosopher Bertrand Russell's teapot analogy, which meant to illustrate that the philosophic burden of proof lies upon a person making unfalsifiable claims, rather than shifting the burden of disproof to others.

Russell specifically applied his analogy in the context of religion. He wrote that if he were to assert, without offering proof, that a teapot, too small to be seen by telescopes, orbits the Sun somewhere in space between the Earth and Mars, he could not expect anyone to believe him solely because his assertion could not be proven wrong.
