Well, a few humanists do believe in supernatural things. The key thing about humanism is it is putting the natural world before the supernatural. A humanist will act according to what is best for humanity, not what their supernatural beliefs (if any) say.
The vast majority of humanists are atheist though.

Hi Spashie and welcome.
I'm an avid Dr Who fan as well, love the new series - just dying for season 4 to make it to Australia!

I won't get to see Torchwood cos I'm in France. but wikipedia sez;
Quote:Torchwood explores several themes in its narrative, in particular LGBT themes. Various characters are portrayed as sexually fluid; through those characters, the series examines homosexual and bisexual relationships. Although the nature of their sexual flexibility is not explicitly discussed, the characters offer varying perspectives on orientation.
Through the use of repetition, in particular of thematically important lines, and by drawing parallels between characters, the show also delves somewhat into existentialism, the value of human life, and the corrupting nature of power.
Damn. Sounds good
(ps - welcome Spashie!!)

Torchwood is great because it completely overdoes the LGBT thing. Every episode is about sex in some form. Every character is bisexual, and they all have awkward sexual relationships with each other. Put simply, it would make even Ted Haggard blush.
Doctor Who is great as well though. They will have to solve the problem of aging merely to keep Tennant in his role as the doctor. There is no better man for it.
