I have a friend who is the head of physics at a prestigious college. He once told me that any “discovery” should be prefaced by the qualifying statement “At our present level of ignorance we assume that....”
Him and Steven Hawkings, which one is the bigger idiot?
Hey Tyson, you ignorant ass; somebody else is responsible for the universe, that somebody else is GOD.
Ahh yes, our affirmative action physicist. No thanks.
Time for the Masons to update their higher power to “The Grand Programmer Of The Universe”
Unfortunately, the Universe is running Windows 95 (unmatched).
This clown is more of an astrologer than an astronomer. ‘Course, he’s black, so nobody can call him out.
Whew, still here.
We will need to adjust the impellances and coil omnidirectionally.
Mr. Tyson you’re an atheist..... but if you think the universe is a simulation.... you inherently are saying you believe the universe was intelligently designed...
“...somehow that someone else is responsible for our universe...”
Mr. Tyson: And who, exactly, do you posit that “someone else” is?

Let’s test that theory. If none of this is reality surely he won’t mind me firing a bullet into his head right?
This is not exactly a new hypothesis, though Tyson is too rigidly programmed to think of the classic answer.
Tyson points out that we humans have always defined ourselves as the smartest beings alive.
Not true. See above. The idea that humans are the smartest things in the universe is a peculiarly modern delusion, probably rooted in having too many tenured faculty members around.
"And if that's the case, it is easy for me to imagine that everything in our lives is just the creation of some other entity for their entertainment," Tyson says.
Most people who have considered the subject think that God had some purpose in mind other than entertainment.
The idea that our universe may be considered, for lack of a more adequate terminology, as a thought experiment in the mind of God is an old one. It answers a number of puzzles. If Tyson were not locked in his dogmatic box, he would recognize that he is stumbling around a well-rehearsed question. Of course, I'm sure he would prefer to believe in a race of incomprehensibly intelligent aliens as opposed to a creator God. He might want to pause and reflect on why he would prefer to consider himself a plaything as opposed to an infinitely valued creation.
The funny thing is that Tyson is pretty much describing God but will never admit that. They have to change the language is order to accept the fact that we have a creator.. Both man and the universe.
They simply lack the faith to truly understand.

Neil deGrasse Tyson is another ‘popularizer’ of science. Like Bill Nye and Carl Sagan before him. It’s a schtick. These guys — well maybe not Nye — are probably experts in a particular field, but nobody can claim the kind of general expertise that these guys are.
It would be one thing to have people like deGrasse Tyson if we were actually attempting to educate our children in math-science-engineering. But we’re not. So we’re left with a kind of pseudo-religion with Mr. Tyson as one of it’s High Priests.
Tyson is a “Baghdad Bob” for NASA. He has been instructed to lie to the populace. However, in this case, his overlords have instructed him to mix a morsel of truth with his lies.
I believe that we will find out that eventually that the heavens and the earth are constructed just as described in the Bible.
