You might like what Sultan Knish (Daniel Greenfield) has to say about Tyson...and the left in general.

I had seen DeGrasse Tyson on some other science shows and I have to agree completely with the Sultan about him being a mediocrity. He’s the result of the same american sickness that has given us Maya Angelou as poet laureate and Obama as president. Affirmative action anyone?
But regarding evolution... I was pretty much a believer until I ran into a book a few months ago called “Darwin’s Doubt”. It was truly an eye opener. Stephen Meyer totally dismantles the theory from many different scientific angles. At the end he makes a case for intelligent design, but presented no evidence other than through inference, but was not convincing enough for me, though it definitely raised the possibility.
So right now I’m in limboland - I no longer believe that life evolved Darwin’s way, (though I believe microevolution does occur), and there’s not enough evidence for intelligent design either, so I’m waiting for the evolution of the next theory.
Interesting.
The problem with subscribing to evolution is that you have to dismiss the words of Christ. Evolution teaches that man is a recent arrival upon the earth, compared with all other life forms. But Jesus affirmed that God made man “in the beginning.”
Also, if you believe evolution, you believe in eons of bloodshed and death before man ever showed up. Yet Genesis says there was no suffering nor death until created Man chose to disobey God.
