Tyson is the best scientist to help humanity realize the truth of things around us. He is kind enough to explain certain discoveries and not say since I have this information your completley wrong. He accepts all possibilitys andaccepts all people for what they believe in no matter what his view is on things. He is an example of how every human should be.

Learn to make sense.

and your getting older did not make you less stupid

Maybe you got older, but it doesn't seem you got more mature. . .

a room full of eggheads believing thier own BS-REMINDS me of the college profs that I had that had no common sense and would not listen to reason-you could have missed thier class cause of being in an earthquake and they would not listen and say that is no excuse-when I got older I wondered how they ever got to be a teacher-word to these egghead-FUCKOFF

Well, when it comes your rogue opinion about how old the earth is, I'll side the National Academy of Science any day.

hahaha and you know your right somehow?

Thanks for a good comment, tieInterceptor!

It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly.
Einstein 1954

A man's ethical behaviour should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.
Albert Einstein 1930

You're inclined to believe whatever you want.

No matter how wrong you are, I respect you're right to believe it. ;)

I dont believe that. And i don't believe its 6,000 years old either so don't get that idea.

Religion just isn't for me. Maybe it's due in part to my personality---I'm skeptical of authority figures, for the most part. There may be a god but I see no proof so I'm not going to devote my life to something that doesn't exist.

My main problem is how people blindly use "faith" as a crutch. If you applied that logic to anything else in life, you wouldn't go far. "I have faith that I'll never get in a car crash so what's the need for insurance?" See how absurd that sounds?

While I think that Dawkins is very intelligent, I don't agree with his "religion poisons everything" approach to promoting atheism.

I'm an atheist/agnostic who is more against fundamentalism within religions than the religions themselves. There are many religious people out there who don't cause problems.

If Dawkins were not addressing atheists in an enabling and essentially arming manner (as he does so elequently) he would be missing a large part of his target audience - I think Tyson has not considered the typical atheist/militant atheist in his analysis.

No, Dawkins is a great educator.

Actually, the universe is 13.7 billion years old. But hey, who's counting. ;)

Tyson is right here and Dawkins only proves his point by acting like a smart-arse brat as per usual. Not to mention he follows his normal method of response by replying with something completely unrelated to the point.

Tyson: "your method of rhetoric is more about impressing people with flashy speeches and watching them eat your words up than actually teaching anything."

Dawkins: "oh yes, i'm very witty. now allow me to distract you with a humourous quote and not actually face anything. ever."

LOL and stuff

I have. It doesn't say anything about "shiiteee", but otherwise Dr. Dawkins seems to know his stuff.

haha, long live science and Richard Dawkins :)

lol

thats the thing with evolution that interests me - are there neanderthalls in heaven? did we reach the point in our existence when god suddenly decided we were smart enought to deserve a soul?
lol religion is bullshit
