BINGO!!!!!!! (From Bill Moyers interview with Neil DeGrasse Tyson…..) BILL MOYERS: But do you have any sympathy for people who seem to feel, only feel safe in the vastness of the universe you describe in your show if they can infer a personal God who makes it more hospitable to them, cares for them? NEIL DEGRASSE TYSON: In this, what we tell ourselves is a free country, which means you should have freedom of thought, I dont care what you think. I just dont. Go think whatever you want. Go ahead. Think that theres one God, two Gods, ten Gods, or no Gods. That is what it means to live in a free country. The problem arises is if you have a religious philosophy that is not based on objective realities that you then want to put in a science classroom. Then Im going to stand there and say, No, Im not going to allow you in the science classroom.” Im not telling you what to think, Im just telling you in the science class, “Youre not doing science. This is not science. Keep it out. Thats where I, thats when I stand up. Otherwise, go ahead. Im not telling you how to think. billmoyers/episode/full-show-neil-degrasse-tyson-on-science-religion-and-the-universe/
