My goodness, Neil deGrasse Tyson is so much fun to listen to!
That he is! Even if he tries to dodge the "atheist" tag!!!
Neil may be the most intelligent person alive at this time. He is brilliant. One thing that is amazing to me is that Francis Collins (the father of the MIT Human Genome Project) wrote a book about why he is a Christian. I read most of the book. The DNA discussion was too deep for me to comprehend (and I taught Biology in high school), and the arbitrary choice of Christianity without logic was dumbfounding.
I doubt I'll ever change my mind about religious faith being a deliberate mental illness. People are choosing to be delusional when there is ample
evidence that what they believe has no basis in fact.
His work on "Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey" is most enjoyable and looks great on the big screen. All worth watching.
I watched the "Cosmos" reboot on Netflix. It was excellent.
@onlyif You are most kind.
Like when he educates Bill O'Reilly on the god of the gaps?
Didn't see that one, but I'm sure Neil made O'Reilly look like the fool that he is.
The syntax and delivery when he explains the universe really keeps you interested. It makes whatever message he wants to convey easy to listen to.
