Dope show too
I wouldn't enjoy all the math but I have an insatiable appetite for any information involving the universe. I'm graduating with a bachelors in accounting in spring
I'll leave that shyt to them.
I'd go back and maybe do physics instead of just all this bio and chemistry
...about to be getting this (professional) degree tho
He was a wrestler in college too. So much swagIt was a huge day man. I was so excited for this show and it delivered in every way possible. Neil Tyson is an inspiration to the people and I'm proud he represents us. Plus look at this picture from when he was younger
That's swag right there. Him growing up in the Bronx, like I did, and accomplishing what he has is incredible. A true role model right there.
he said when he took his wife on their first date he just took her to a rooftop and let her look through his telescope 
while I was watching it I wasn't even thinking "wow they're shytting on the catholic church/religion" I just thought of it as they're telling historical facts

Fukk your corny debates
The problem with religious fundies and hard right wingers in general now is they won't stfu and stop trying to be activists. They've always been around. But they used to be like, "I don't believe man came from monkeys but if they tell my kids that in school so what? I'll just tell them it's not true and the world was created 6,000 ago if they ask me
" Now they're building theme parks with men riding dinosaurs and shyt.

Oklahoma Fox station accidentally cuts evolution scene from 'Cosmos'

On Sunday night, the premiere of the science documentary series "Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey" on the Oklahoma City Fox affiliate KOKH was briefly interrupted by a local news promo. These things happen all the time on TV. Big deal, right?
Well, it just so happens that host Neil deGrasse Tyson was referring to the theory of evolution just as the accidental preemption occurred. As first reported by the left-leaning website Raw Story, in the omitted portion, Tyson explained how "three and a half million years ago" humans "stood up and parted ways" from our biological "ancestors." (You can see the uninterrupted version here.)
In the version that aired on KOKH, posted below, Tyson's 20-second discussion of evolution is elided almost entirely, thanks to a misplaced spot plugging an upcoming local news broadcast.
The series, which executive producer Seth MacFarlane sees as a corrective to anti-science views, has drawn criticism from religious fundamentalists. Because of Oklahoma's culturally conservative reputation and the almost too perfect timing of the misplaced promo, some have suggested (or even assumed) the cut was made deliberately.
Q&A: Seth MacFarlane hopes 'Cosmos' counteracts 'junk science,' creationism
But on Wednesday the station issued an apology via its Twitter account, blaming the glitch on human error. A representative of KOKH told the Times that the interruption was caused by a "master control operator error" but declined to elaborate further.
Some outlets have characterized the omitted section as the "only" reference to evolution in the episode, but this is not exactly the case. While it is the only instance in which Tyson specifically referred to humans developing from other forms of life, the premiere episode also included the introduction of the Cosmic Calendar, which condenses the 13.8-billion lifespan of the universe into a single year in which modern humans evolved only in the last hours of Dec. 31.
And in another scene set on a beach, Tyson explains how life emerged from the oceans as an animated Tiktaalik, "one of the first animals to walk on land," crawls out of the waves and onto the sand.
