A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.' That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.'

It was awesome.

I figured that's how it would be received here since Neil Degrasse Tyson, AKA the anti-Christ, is espousing science, AKA publicly worshiping the Devil.

I watched it.

It was okay.  A lot of people who pre-hyped the shit out of it are claiming it's the best thing ever. 

There's not a lot to it especially if you've read anything about the latest headlines in astrophysics.  Honestly, some of what he said on the show last night was a stretch.  The multi-verse is a hypothesis.  Some support it.  A bunch don't.

I thought it was interesting that he mentioned that believing in a guess or getting lucky by having your guess be right was not science because science requires testing that leads to a consistent conclusion.  Then he says that there are an infinite amount of universes in bubbles in some kind of universe ocean. 

I hope the next few are better and better focused.  If not, I doubt I'll finish the series.

To be fair, the multi-verse segment of the show was introduced with the phrase "Many of us suspect that all of this . . . is but one tiny bubble in an infinite ocean of other universes."

Meh.  The delivery was definite "this is truth."  He politicked it well, but it was the apex of a series of jaw-dropping observations about the universe.

Never heard of the guy. I don't get my information from Stewart, Colbert,or Maher.


But it is kinda funny he says that that essentially evolution has not been proven...

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

I don't think you guys will disagree with this, but you've surprised me before.

Quote
Astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson, director of the Hayden Planetarium, is the host of "Cosmos," the rebooted version of Carl Sagan's classic science show. "Cosmos" debuted Sunday on Fox, and Tyson joined the Brian Lehrer Show on WNYC to discuss its return, as well why the Bible shouldn't be used as a textbook.

Rather than painting science and religion as diametrically opposed to each other, Tyson said that there are plenty of scientists who believe in God. “The issue there is not religion versus non-religion or religion versus science, the issue there is ideas that are different versus dogma," he observed.

He continued, “If you start using your scripture, your religious text as a source of your science, that’s where you run into problems, and there is no example of someone reading their scripture and saying ‘I have a prediction about the world that no one knows yet because this gave me insight.’”

“Enlightened religious people know this, and don’t try to use the Bible as a textbook,” he concluded.

Listen to the whole interview here -- his comments about religion start at the 10:59 mark:

ummmm I think some of what I read in that is exactly what I've tried to tell you before. Some things are not mutually exclusive. Not every Christian is a bible thumping, logic out the window, holy roller.

Anyone see this week's episode?

The topic was evolution. It did a pretty good job of explaining some things people on this forum take issue with.

I highly, highly, highly recommend, especially if you don't believe in evolution.
