Kudo's to Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Michio Kaku

[Free Buddhist]

Neil Degrasse Tyson does not believe in any organized Religion and does not believe that there is a personal God who answers prayers. But as to the question of whether there is a Supreme Being whose nature is unknowable or whether the Universe came into existence through 'Spontaneous Creation' - Professor Tyson is decidely Agnostic. This has brought down hatred, vitriol, and rage from Atheists who cannot stand the thought of a Scientist with his stature not agreeing with them. You Tube is full of 'Ad Hominum' attacks against him by religiously fanactical Atheists. As a Buddhist, I believe in a 'Supreme Consciousness'. But the fact that Neil Degrasse Tyson is a free-thinker and is not intimidated by either Fundamentalists or Atheists makes him my Hero. Kudo's to you Professor Tyson. Michio Kaku has stated: "The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle has settled the Free Will-Determinism debate in favor of Free Will". This has brought condemnation down upon him from Atheists who feel that Free Will implys a God who passes judgement on people who acted in accordance with their Free Will. But Professor Kaku never stated that there is a Supreme Being who passes Judgement. He simply stated that we have Introspection and Free Will. Fortunently, Professor Kaku does not change his rationalism or logic to appease militant Atheists. Kudo's to you Professor Kaku.

Tyson comes off as a fraud. I don't believe for one second Carl Sagan had any interaction with him, let alone having any faith in him. I would have much rather had Michio Kaku as the host for the Cosmos reboot as he seems someone much more knowledgeable.

What's your point?

Once again, no one gives a flying fuck what you believe, polecat.

Like I give a shit.

[Alex K]

Yeah Polecat, I'm sure Ann Druyan wouldn't know and would be totally cool with Tyson doing the impostor thing. Lol

Kaku is the bullshit salesman among those two. Almost everything he does is wrought with bs and hype.

Really? What leads you to think that the story about NdT and Sagan is false? The book he has signed seems to be genuine. And what leads you to think that NdT isn't knowledgeable enough to host Cosmos? 

Michio Kaku is certainly knowledgeable, and is certainly passionate about cosmology. I don't know that he would inspire the wonder that NdT is capable of inspiring, which is really what Cosmos is all about.

It is pretty clear that NdT is an agnostic atheist. He doesn't believe any god claims---he's said that outright. He is open to evidence; he won't take a definitive stance. It's much the same for most of us here.

Haven't you looked at him? He's brown.

Tyson doesn't come off as genuine and the whole story just appeared to be him trying to justify him being the host.

I would rather have someone who speaks at a higher level about the cosmos as Kaku does much more often, than another Bill Nye. Sure people like Bill Nye were great when we were kids, but I expect much more out of a show like Cosmos than what has Tyson provided. Plus, I would like Tyson to spend more time worrying about science than wasting valuable time addressing the people who made him feel butt-hurt about the age of the universe.

NDT is agnostic atheist all he want's is proof. The sad fact little pathetic thing about religion is the more we find out about the universe by scientisits and people like kaku and NDT 
the more we know how bullshit of a idea that a god could create anything. Literally Polaris given that our universe is billions of years old don't you think that things would naturally just come together on their own without a god. Because the sun was created from literally 2 basic elements and that is without god and our planet as well we do not need a god a god doesn't clearly exist.
