creationist want equal time on Cosmo so Carl Sagan's old cosmos series has been
rebooted
Neil deGrasse Tyson is the host a police at MacFarlane creator of Family Guy
is one of the producers arco creators I haven't watched any of the episodes yet
but I haven't cued up on my
on demand a min watch them soon and there's a
the the show very specifically talked about the big bang it talks about
creation
and it talks about basically everything in it is based on what we consider to be
the best scientific
yuri right now and creationists
are happy with this so for example we heard from danny faulkner
from Answers in Genesis and he said I was struck
in the first episode where tyson talked about science and how you know all ideas
are discussed you know
everything is up for discussion it's all on the table and I thought to myself
no consideration of special creation is definitely not
open for discussion it would seem now Neil deGrasse Tyson was asked about this
and he say we are not going to put creationism
on their the show's going to focus on scientifically proven fact and he
actually said
this is the key statement from Neil deGrasse Tyson you don't talk
about this spherical earth with nasa
and then say let's give equal time to the flat
earth there's an like I've said before many times imagine if after a baseball
game
where the Boston Red Sox I'll course
defeated the New York Yankees and you say well
we've now heard an analysis that analyzes
a/c a hypothesis where the Red Sox won
but now we're going to give equal time to those who hypothesize that the New
York Yankees actually won the game
you don't have to always give equal time right this idea that
corporate media has above all I all viewpoints are valid and
equal a where the eff equal time doesn't make sense I'm glad Neil deGrasse Tyson
is saying this but i wanna add one more thing
if you listen carefully Neil deGrasse Tyson does address
creationism and other theories not based in fact
throughout the episode he doesn't listen carefully and he'll talk about for
example
both types love evolution he will talk about
evolution within species for example selective breeding in docs ranked which
is the kind that most creationists admit exists
but we'll also talk about the evolution above the polar bear
more broadly which is the type of evolution that the religious right tends
to not
admit exists so the critiques
above creationism are there if you listen
and I am very much looking forward to checking out the first couple episodes
that are out
it looks pretty good we know there are
ya I atheists and scientists you hate religion but
it seems that there are also very religious people who literally hate
science but come on even pat robertson accepts science
I so I think we need to get past this right pat robertson
who just said are we talked about him saying that
someone who was rejecting Christian proselytizing
might have been abused or be demonic repossessed
even that guy says the religious right has to give up this six
thousand-year-old
earth star you gotta give it up and if you look at Twitter
after the he searched the cosmos hash tag on Twitter
after the epic the airing of the first episode it was just
filled to the brim with up
anger just vitriol from the religious right
about the about the show just that the show is based on what are the
accepted scientific Yuri's as a right now
and didn't include the other stuff it's funny that there's a
million shows like this is just another on box then you have one on
boxer major network and all of a sudden people are up in arms yet but there are
other programs that are giving no time at all to evolution there on religious
channels there on YouTube channels there in documentaries that you can find
there in places like a the Jesus camp I was watching that documentary which was
closed recently
there in the seventy-five percent I've home-schooled homes
where the children are evangelical Christians there's plenty of places
where you have unopposed creation theory
and some places you're just not going to have that and people are going to have
to learn to live with that
next george Zimmerman's speaks about what type of job he would like to have
this is just unbelievable
