He argues that 'goddidit' is the fallback of believers. And only believers.

You are mischaracterizing what Tyson has said; that's awfully close to lying.

I thought that point was clear in the context of my answer. I did not mean to imply that Tyson was saying nonbelievers are saying "goddidit". That would be quite contradictory.

Your wording certainly implied that he said that brilliant scientists in general went with 'goddidit' when faced with unknowns.
You said:
"There, he argues, is where "goddidit" ends up becoming the fall back answer, even for the most respected of minds. "

Quote:You seem to want to assume that I'm trying to intentionally get over on people by being dishonest. I assure you, that is not at all my motive. If I've misrepresented based on misunderstanding, that's one thing... In this case, however, it seems it was you who misunderstood and misrepresented me.

No, I am going by what you say. However, if I am wrong I apologize.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
