That’s quite a story: completely wrong in all of its particulars and in its larger point. Tyson mangles Genesis and misquotes Bush, not once but twice. He puts Bush’s (misquoted) comment in the wrong year and the wrong context. It actually comes from one of the most poignant speeches of his presidency. Bush was not talking not 9/11; he was eulogizing the seven astronauts who lost their lives on the space shuttle Columbia — a subject that Tyson supposedly cares about. And Bush never said “Our God.” He said: “The same Creator who names the stars also knows the names of the seven souls we mourn today.”
As for Tyson’s statement “Allah of the Muslims is the same God as the God of the Old Testament,” that’s theology, not science. It may or may not be good theology, but it was George W. Bush who said this before Neil Tyson — and he took heat from some evangelicals for it. Also, it was Bush, not Tyson, who went around proclaiming Islam to be a “religion of peace” after 9/11. In other words, the moral of Tyson’s snarky little story is the exact opposite of what really happened. It’s a lie, or rather a series of lies, on a scale rare even for Washington.
When called on his prevarications by The Federalist, Tyson dissembled for months, accused his critics of “eavesdropping,” and called on his acolytes to find the quote for him — crowd-sourcing his research, after the fact. An odd example of the scientific method, one might say. When all that failed, his minions scrubbed the controversy from Wikipedia and plotted how to remove The Federalist from Wikipedia as well.

And he is a black fellow so he is way betterer than everyone else
I doubt he hates Christianity. He just thinks it’s foolish stuff.

Guy is an idiot savante...
Well, you're half right.

Meanwhile real scientists are doing real work while this phony is in search of a TV camera and a check for saying something that sounds “scientific”.
“allah” is satan’s pagan moon idol used for his death cult known as islam.
The inspiration for the recasting of the Arab moon god came from the Old Testament, but only the inspiration.
Hey, Neil. . . Why don't you teach hackers not to hack ??
But the author, Carl Cannon, does eventually(down at the bottom) give credit to the man that wrote it in Sept.
“I hate this guy,” McInnes exclaimed. “I remember hearing Chris Hardwick on a podcast talk about Neil deGrasse Tyson and he was just salivating. White liberal nerds love this guy so much, he could defecate on them like Martin Bashir’s fantasies and they would dance in the streets.”
“He talks about things like, ‘when I was young in New York I would get racially profiled when I’d go into stores,’” McInnes whined. “Back then he looked like he was in ‘The Warriors.’ He had a huge afro and a cutoff shirt and New York was a war zone. Sorry, you fit the profile.
Well, you're half right.'
Yeah, and you warn't too fer off on spellin' savaje neither!
