If you spend your whole life looking in the sky for answers thinking it will look like a red box, you may never see the answer of the blue ball beneath your own feet. You can't see what you are not looking at.

I'm not saying the guy isn't smart or observant and I'm not going to be insulting like some others in this thread have been. Look at my first sentence. I called him brilliant. I enjoy listening to people like him discuss science. He is awesome at that, but Neil isn't looking for God. He is looking to explain the mechanics of the universe in the absence of God because he doesn't care. That is what I called sad. He sees so much and yet is still blind to what matters most.

Don't believe me? Ask him. Here he is in his own words. He says, "I'm agnostic and it's more that I don't really care. I don't want to have to spend all this energy, but I keep getting called out into the boxing ring, largely against my wishes." He just wants to chase the mechanics of science and ignore the Creator of it. That is what is so sad.
