I didn’t know any of this. I’ve enjoyed watching Tyson’s programs and have found him to be a pleasant, intelligent fellow. I hope that’s what he is.
He has an enthusiasm which is excellent for science education but unfortunately there’s been a cult of personality that sprung up around him which has blinded him to his errors.
The show Cosmos kinda highlighted his shortcomings when it took a propaganda turn. The worst being devoting a quarter of the first show to a non-scientist just to dig at the church.
Try reasons.org and reasonablefaith.org for true scientific discussion. Dr. Hugh Ross is a scientist of first order and Dr. William Craig is a philosopher and theologian of first order. A little review of their view of the cosmos will change your opinion of pedantic prigs such as Tyson. When you hear something like "it is obvious to the casual observer that..." you a dealing with questionable information and its purveyors.
