Neil deGrasse Tyson vs. Richard Dawkins

Neil Tyson is probably one my biggest role models. He talks about promoting science in this clip. I hope to one day have as much influence as he does. Now, I dig Richard Dawkins too, but I take Neil's side on this one.

I think Neil is just a bit too wishful here.
The world needs people like Dawkins who do tell it like it is.
I think it would be worse if he faked sympathy and didn`t mean it.
Also I truly believe that the way creationists misrepresent evolution calls for at least this level of vitriol. Heck we need the Hitchens out there too.
I`m pretty sure this whole talk is uploaded somewhere here on spiked and it was well worth the watch.

But seriously Neil Tyson couldn`t be more right. You don`t want to scare the kids.

Yep, it was super funny....but totally missed the point of any of Richard Dawkins arguments.

not to be a party pooper, but Tyson + Dawkins = 10 actually.
Tyson*Dawkins would be 5^2.

Anyone who is stupid enough to need scientific explanations dummied down to suit their mindset is the kind of person who doesn`t think logically and never will. They`re likely one of those retards that believe the world will end in 2012, or believe in astrology, etc. I`m a pessimist, but I`ve tried to get those kinds of people to take science courses in the past and they just end up dropping them because they refuse to put any effort in to learn useful information.
