You are incredibly dense. Go look in the mirror. There, I have provided evidence of a living being in the universe. Now you provide evidence for the existence of any god.

If you don't understand the difference between searching for another example of a defined and proven existent vs. searching for evidence of an arbitrary concept, you're hopelessly deluded.

Regarding the OP, here's the exchange just before the bit you pulled out:

Tyson: "Point is, it (life) happened relatively quickly with the most common ingredients in the universe. To now say that life on Earth is unique in the universe would be inexcusably egocentric."

Dawkins: "I agree".

Dawkins was clearly having a go at those that believe life to be unique to Earth.
Yes it would be egocentric but not provably wrong until evidence turns up. as far as the rest of your comments .. just OLD and I said all I need previously. Accept it, what they said had implications beyond what they were applying them too and those implications are what i'm exposing even if you can't bring yourself to acknowledge that.

There is no such thing as certainty in science.

I agree apart from according to many on here the certainty that GOD does not exist.
