Celebrity astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson: If there is a Creator, He is pretty stupid
American Thinker ^ | 08/23/2025 | Eric Utter

Posted on 08/24/2025 6:28:06 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

The headline read: “If We Really Did Have a ‘Creator,’ He Certainly Wouldn’t Have Been Very intelligent.”

Say what?!

The headline -- and story -- were on a site called The Daily Galaxy, of which I know nothing. But the piece and its banner were spawned by a remark Neil deGrasse Tyson made during one of his many public talks/interviews. At one point, Tyson actually stated, “If we had a creator, I’d have to say that the creator is pretty stupid.”

Unlike Neil deGrasse Tyson Himself, of course. I mean, he’s brilliant.

Tyson also magnanimously stated: “I have no problems, if as we probe the origins of things, we bump up into the bearded man. If that shows up … we good to go, O.K.. Not a problem.” (Apparently “the bearded man” is his term for an alleged God/the Creator.)

What a guy! Old Neil is “O.K.” with potentially bumping up into evidence of a supreme being.

Tyson says that is “not a problem!” If a godlike figure actually exists, Tyson has given him His blessing!

But the astrophysicist has often argued in his various public appearances that any evidence of intelligent design is far from convincing.

The Daily Galaxy:

Tyson’s central argument lies in the observation that many features of the human body seem illogical or inefficient. A frequently cited example is the recurrent laryngeal nerve, which takes an unnecessarily long detour from the brain to the voice box by looping around the aorta. This awkward path makes sense only in the context of evolutionary history, where the nerve’s route was shaped by anatomical changes over time. Similarly, Tyson points out that the esophagus and trachea, responsible for transporting food and air respectively, intersect in a way that makes choking a constant risk — a dangerous design flaw in an allegedly perfect system.

In other words, Tyson the scientist would not have made such an obvious blunder.

Tyson also believes the human birth canal is too narrow relative to the size of a baby’s head, which would be a sign of incompetence in an alleged designer. Yet he believes these imperfections are not, in fact, mistakes, but logical outcomes of a non-directed process.

Neil was brought to us for our amusement.

Physics and astrophysics are in a period of crisis (think “dark matter” and “dark energy”) and all they can do at this point is send out the clowns.

So, tighter vagina isn't superior of sexual pleasure?

Making sure sex is pleasure was God's priority over easier births.

This guy is spiritually-blind dunce.

Tyson isn’t nearly as bright as he likes to believe he is. He is using the, ‘I wear a white coat (scientist) therefor I am an expert in any field I care to speak about’. Too many of those types walking around. Feynnman would have taken his lunch money, eaten his lunch and given him a wedgie, metaphorically speaking, any day of the week.

His speaker fee is 50% of what is used to be. Pretty soon, maybe he’ll speak for a comp’d room and a bowl of green M&Ms.

Neil deGrasse Tyson now reminds me of anthropologist Gabby Yearwood. Yearwood is the “famous” anthropologist who stated that we cannot determine gender of skeletal remains. Yearwood was laughed at by the entire room during a session with Riley Gaines.

deGrasse Tyson, Yearwood, ET AL

Go woke, become a joke.

Tyson is also a global warmist, not too smart this guy. The Laurentide ice sheet was a mile thick from where I’m typing, melted and formed the Great Lakes only 12,000 years ago as only one example. He has no sense of time, apparently.

One day Tyson will get his chance to be heard in Heaven’s Court. He can straighten out the Almighty at that time, and then proceed to settle in to his eternal abode.

Ref Psalm 2:2-5

Neil deGrasse Tyson is a worthless, pompous DEI scientist. If he were a white guy he’d be a complete unknown.

And deservedly so.

Side point: I look forward to Tyson specifically calling Allah “stupid”. Hilarity would ensure. That’s for sure.

Saw a short clip of him on some sort of interview show with a gameshow type of audience. Pretty full of himself.

That’s okay. Joe Biden told him that plagiarism is perfectly okay I’d you’re a Democrat.

Hilarious Tyson tomfoolery with this clip:

If what he said was true airplanes could never land on a north south runway.
