Neil DeGrasse Tyson on Disproving God

RE: Neil DeGrasse Tyson on Disproving God
irontiger Wrote: In another backyard there was ant and human.   Except for a sensation that something is close by, the ant is so small and has limited physical capabilities and senses to recognize a human as we see it and will never able to do so, therefore "evidence" will never present itself to that ant.  The ant will then conclude that humans do not exist.  Based on Neil Degrasse Tyson logic the ant is also right.

The most reasonable conclusion based on the evidence that you have is not necessarily the right one. The ant is justified in requesting more information before assenting to the proposition that humans are real. To make this really analogous, the one trying to convince the first ant is another ant, which leads one to wonder how that ant established that humans are real. Maybe it followed Drich's advice and A/S/Ked.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
