Krazy Kreationists Want Equal Time With Cosmos
Read Time:1 Minute, 31 Second
Those Crazy Creationists are carrying on about “Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey” Neil deGrasse Tyson’s most excellent peek at real science. The show, naturally, doesn’t contain creationist theories about the universe’s origins because that would be silly. On Thursday, however, Danny Falkner, of Answers in Genesis, (guffawing quietly into hand) “The Janet Mefferd Show” to make a plea for “balance.”
Falkner complained, “I don’t recall seeing any interviews with people – that may yet come – but it’s based upon the narration from the host and then various types of little video clips of various things, cartoons and things like that.” Mefferd suggested that “Cosmos” bring in a different “scientific” point of view. “Boy, but when you have so many scientists who simply do not accept Darwinian evolution, it seems to me that that might be something to throw in there,” she said. ”You know, the old, ‘some scientists say this, others disagree and think this,’ but that’s not even allowed.” That would be because creationism isn’t rooted in science. Whereas, especially after revelations of gravitational waves this week, if confirmed, there may be more evidence to support the Big Bang theory. Creationism is rooted in a religious text. On WNYC’s Brian Lehrer show, Tyson said that there are plenty of scientists who pray to a god, and are “fully functioning” because they don’t use religious text as scientific evidence. “The issue there is not religion versus non-religion, or religion versus science,” he said. “The issue is ideas that are different versus dogma.” Tyson also said that enlightened religious people “don’t try to use the Bible as a textbook — using a Western example.” “Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey” is a reboot of famed astrophysicist Carl Sagan’s PBS series, which premiered in 1980.

Well of course they do. Not like they don’t have 5 million channels of their own showing shows such as the 700 club or wall to wall Joel Osteen and the like on Sundays. Come on, it’s only fair they get to spout bullshit on a show like Cosmos. Help us, we’re being oppressed, now for something completely different 🙂
They do have a lot of crap on television, and now they’re flooding the market with more crap like Noah and the God one.
