Bruno had a mind. He had dreams and visions. Repeatedly. And they were all just dumb luck? Please...what was it that gave him that mind? Gaia? The Universe?
I hope Tyson wrote that. Because it fits in well with what I know of him and my opinion of him. A knob.
Saw it.
An hour of TV dedicated to smearing the Catholic church.
Shameful.
SOUNDS like YOU are correct on both points.
The big bang theory was originally proposed by Monseigneur Georges Lemaître but that hurts liberal science brains so they ignore it or lie about it.
“Sagan succeeded because he communicated science without tearing other people down. Tyson does also but in the episode provided to me, the Bruno story came across as more of a program Richard Dawkins would have hosted than Carl Sagan. And that’s too bad, because Tyson is not divisive like that.”
I disagree, he is divisive, and he has no qualms tearing people down. In the ComicCon promo interview for Cosmos, he basically insulted every religious believer on the planet by implying that religion is just a bunch of made-up stories, and that the stories he is going to tell on Cosmos are better.
I’m listening to Sam Sorbo for Andrea Tantaros and she played clips of Tyson saying, among other things, that the “world was created in six days” doesn’t hold up scientifically.
Yet he and Sagan both in episode one compressed the time from the Big Bang to today into one gigantic calendar year, with BB on Jan. 1 and today Dec. 31. Sure, it was just to illustrate the history of the universe in an easy to understand way for common folk - but what makes him think the Bible wasn’t doing exactly the same thing for people back then?
I don’t know. He doesn’t know. God only knows (well, and whoever wrote Genesis; Moses?).
Elites really drive me nuts. Okay, it’s a short drive anyway....

Evidently the pictures of Deep Space were stunning and Beautiful.
That being said, if you want a daily “fix’ of Deep Space, without the leftist liberal anti-God agenda, get onto the APOD ping list here on FR! :-)
(Shameless Plug for “Astronomy Picture of the Day”)
Not only that, the big bang is a sure thing. The least these fools could do would be to couch these theories with words such as, “based on current observations, or scientific theory...”

This thing was worse than my worst fears. Just awful. They had no voice, no message, no audience in mind. It does not rise to the level of hokey. An embarrassment, and worse, a wasted opportunity.
Carl Sagan was a good scientist and a great salesman. His vision, his message drove the original Cosmos. Dr. Tyson probably did as well as could be expected given the material, but he is very much a lesser epigone of Sagan. Great special effects and computer graphics in the service of a muddled and confused message. The fancy-schmatzy computer graphics added to the confusion and detracted from whatever message they thought they had. The cheesy “Also Sprach Zarathustra” Musik didn’t help, either. If you watched the first episode you know less about the cosmos than before.
Four rotten tomatoes. In case I wasn’t clear, I HATED IT.
Maybe it would’ve been better if Cicely Tyson narrated it.
