Neil deGrasse Tyson on COSMOS demolishes the Intelligent Design tards | |
Northman User ID: 9223773 Puerto Rico 03/17/2014 11:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's been so obvious, especially since Darwin. Some humans have evolved much higher intelligence and can understand the facts pertaining to evolution, whereas most cling to outmoded superstition, which is understandable considering that superstition (faith) does not require much of a thought process. Also bear in mind that many profess to believe in religious dogma for profit and power. |

Quoting: Manassas John 48095974 Given 3.5 billion years, plus mutating genes, plus Natural Selection and you have life and evolution. Not just once, but several times as extinction events reset the system. And the solar system is teeming with protein molecules to jump start the show. Calculate the probability of life = 100% Not a word about consciousness. You and Tyson live in an unconscious universe. Don't believe me? Look out your window at all those lost people. |

Proof that it is meant to be a salve for White Supremacy to keep Whites asleep. Two episodes full of lies and omissions about Africans so far. This episode actually started with the lie that dogs were domesticated during the ice age and shows light skinned cartoons as Neil sits in the snow around a fire. Life began at the Equator. Life didn't exist in the Northern regions when dogs were domesticated. It was African Savannah and the Sahara was a lush green region. but I guess you've got to tell the Whites what they want to hear of they won't tune in. Also the use of a Blue Eye in space to attract the attention of Whites is a nice touch. the sad part is that most Whites CAN handle the truth but tptb think their fucking stupid. |

He has the same view of science, creation, global warming, carbon credits or whatever as the DNC establishment decides. And for every Neil deGrasse Tyson you see showcased as a so called expert just remember there's probably 10 or 10,000 others that could be more qualified but are illegally held back because it was 'deemed' they are less worthy because of their skin color alone. That is why God is such a threat to this tyrannical mob that rules us. God created all men equal...but the fascist controlled democrats set aside the constitution and 'deemed' a new privileged royalty, aka the perfect voter group. The Neil deGrasse Tyson's and other beneficiaries of affirmative action ARE imo much like the post WWII Nazi party members that claim to have joined the party ...because they had to. They saw the unfairness and lawlessness all around them but said and did nothing because it was to their benefit. On the other hand and deep in my heart I admit to really liking Neil deGrasse Tyson for his hosting abilities. But I am sick and tired of media propaganda and negro worship. Fear God and Dread Nought. |
The Black Rose Witch User ID: 3753361 United States 03/17/2014 12:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Every generation, these scientists claim to know how things work and how they have come to be. Then, later on, they continue to be proven wrong, again and again. They are professional speculators. But they expect their theories to be accepted as fact. This series is already dead to me. I won't be watching another episode. Too many assumptions and agendas being pushed. How I Define A Fallen World Is When The Value Of Money Outweighs The Value Of Life, When Lies And Liars Are Praised And Followed And The Truth And Those Who Speak It Are The Greatest Of Threats. |

Gali User ID: 8295442 United States 03/17/2014 12:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The primary problem with the Intelligent Design issue is that it has been distorted and hijacked by religious zealots who say, "If we see intelligent results, then that means that "Ghaaad" did it! The originators of Intelligent Design said only that some kind of intelligence was needed to produce what we see in Nature, and this intelligence does not have to be a supreme being. (The source could be finite but very advanced beings not of this earth.) Those who do not accept the hypothesis of intelligent design do not have enough background in science, engineering, statistics, and complex system theory to understand what it takes to make a functioning organism. They don't know how many complex feedback control systems are in operation to make even the simplest things work. They don't realize that if only one or two components stop working, the whole entity won't work. Moving on from merely mechanical devices, here is a statement from an advanced philosophy: "Natural Science finds matter, motion, life, intelligence and love as common phenomena upon this physical plane. It finds the same phenomena common also on the spiritual planes. It is therefore driven to the general deduction that matter, motion, life, intelligence and love are the correlated properties, elements, principles and activities of both worlds, and are Universal." Source: Harmonics of Evolution, written by Florence Huntley and revised by J.E. Richardson. Can anyone put a billion atoms in a jar, shake them up for a few billion years, and come up with those properties of Nature? (And never mind that those atoms are themselves complex entities.) |

The Supercollider went looking for the God Particle in an attempt to prove the Theory of Emergence and disprove the existence of God. Instead, it found a Multiverse that is finely-tuned (Intelligently Designed), which left science scratching their heads with denial. |

First Born User ID: 28375544 United States 03/17/2014 12:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The show panders to the moronic and uneducated. I loved when he said "Gravity and Evolution are Theories"... "But trust me"; "They are real". TRUST ME, I AM A SCIENTIST... I lol'ed and changed the channel. My 13 yo daughter who is very interested in physics looked at me an said... "dad, are people really that stupid"? I replied... "Did obama get elected twice?" I loved the Bear example of ADAPTATION, and MUTATION as the only REAL example of "Evolution". Then a bunch of animated crap that explained nothing. White bears do better in the snow, therefore, bacteria developed the ability to detect light... And do tell Atheistic-Darwinistic-Evo-Faith-Tards.... Where do plants and animals decide to go different ways? Logic would dictate plant life evolving WAY before animal life... Yet, we start with bacteria, then go to fish and the plants are just "there"... And when did virii decide to join the fray? As virii require a host yet are as basic as "life" can be and still be called life... when did they show up? What did they "evolve" from. Too many holes in evolution, too many holes in religion. But if you pretend to KNOW either are fact, you are exercising FAITH and are closed minded. |
