Neil deGrasse Tyson presentation about intelligent design

This is a presentation on science, religion, and how poorly-designed humans, the Earth, and the universe really are. The presenter, Neil deGrasse Tyson, is the new host of the PBS-TV program "NOVA scienceNOW", director of the Hayden Planetarium in the Rose Center For Earth and Space at the American Museum of Natural History. He is the recipient of seven honorary doctorates and the NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal.

I don't know if this has been posted before on this forum. It's a year old on Youtube. I just came across it today. Some interesting thoughts from a leading media scientist and space advocate, I thought.

This is a most excellent lecture of his, one I've seen a few times already. He also has a pretty good one from one of the other BB's, but I can't recall the topic.

Thanks for posting! Now I get to see it again

Someone over there posted on of Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson's videos recently. This would be a nice counter to the other video.

I don't want to look like a bigot, just because I believe in science.

And from what I can see there, no one over there is a bigot, except people who don't believe exactly as they do.

Neil should be the front and center of all those less able brains. Neil actually talks sense, and not nonsence.
