It's like a breath of fresh air through me to know there's people that smart who have a voice and direct line to us humans especially the stupid ones and more importantly the ones otw to getting smarter. Great quotes

Love all of that.

This is proof of intelligent life in the universe.

I think I would like to hear and see more from you.

Neil is the closes thing I could eccept as a god!

I have seen this brilliant man twice and each time he is absolutely astounding!

I like number 8 the best, how true ??

If I was going to start reading Neil DeGrasse Tyson, which one would I start with?

Thank you for those words of wisdom

But the universe makes complete sense to me. People, on the other hand...

He is the best. He is like the Obama of science. He is Intelligent, witty, informative, and does it with class.

I think he’s awesome. He is coming to Phoenix in later this year, October I think. The topic is Live in the Universe. I want to get tickets to see him.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned that he is (in my opinion) the intelligent woman's SEX SYMBOL!

I like them all but have reservations about number seven...'Ignorance......can only be cured by reason.' I've always held to the belief (based on factual evidence) that it is a waste of time attempting to reason with the unreasonable just as it is when attempting to rationalise with the irrational. I stopped doing this many years ago: the number of hours I must have saved, instead of spending them in fruitless conversations, must be immense......

There's nothing in these statements that the average intelligent human being can't work out for themselves (which is much more preferable to simply regurgitating someone else's take on them) ?

Very nice, but certainly no more enlightening than anyone on here could have presented with their own list. Anyone disagree?

Love #6 & #8

Neil is a rock star ?

We miss you sivereyes...

Word

10 Commandments of scientific deities and prophets??? Nah, that's okay, I pass. I was an atheist before he learned to write. Never needed him or jesus or doctor who. No Idols promoted in my life. Pass.

I agree, I like NDT's contribution to the enlightenment cause also. I especially appreciate his exuberance at the wonder of investigation. There is one recorded clip where he is explaining his overflowing awe at scientific discovery. He expressed well my own feelings on that. Earlier a gentlemen seemed to mis characterize NDT's appeal. I will borrow from Hitchens to respond to that; "We have no martyrs, we have no saints."

Love him!

I'm currently wearing a shirt that says "The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it."

Personally I totally agree with every quote. You know every religion claims to believe as they do because of reason, education or intelligence given by their God in Revelation. But whether they admit it or not, all of them or assuming their preferred conclusions on faith, and this would still be true even if all their gods exist. Believe as hard as you want to, but convincing yourself however firmly still can't change the reality of things. Seeing is believing, but seeing isn't knowledge. Believing isn't knowing. Subjective convictions are meaningless in science, and I witness testimony is the least reliable form of evidence.
