If there is something comparable to the ignorance of the humanities towards exact sciences is perhaps the ignorance of hard scientist to humanities.

Knowledge is plain, ignorance is deep.

PC stands for Principal Component, it's what you get after doing PCA or principal component analysis. It's a method of dimensionality reduction. What it does is it takes data in many dimensions and "distills" it down to fewer dimensions while minimizing the loss of information. It's useful for clustering or visualization. In that chart, they've (probably) taken entire genomes and PCA'd them down to two dimensions so they can be plotted on a 2D chart.

Indeed, how can a scientist talk so disgracefully about HIM, when there is a long tradition of theologians who know HIM so well.

It is a shame what the world is turning into. I pray and ask for forgiveness for what we have done. May He forgive us or destroy us in His anger.

Except Dawkins is an actual scientist, with published papers in nature and shit, and Hitchens is an actual philosopher, and I suppose he have whatever credentials you need to be a philosopher.

Bill Nye is just an engineer.

It really shouldn't matter who he is or what his credentials are.

Ignore the fact that this is from Bill Nye, for now, and ask yourself these. Is what he's saying worthy of consideration? Do his points have merit? Is the evidence he is presenting to support his points sound? Is there any obvious bias or variable here that has been left unaccounted for on his end?

ABSOLUTELY. He is a heretic and probably a satanist. Of course he is biased. Listen to Him and be not misguided by serpents like Bill "Deviance" Nye.

If someone is presenting an idea, you look at the idea first and judge it based on it's own merits.

If the idea stands on it's own, then it stands on it's own. If it doesn't you look at the person who presented it and in what context they were presenting it and ask yourself why it doesn't.

To be blunt, it doesn't really matter if someone doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about if they end up being right regardless of that. I.E. If someone says 2*2=4 without knowing what multiplication is it doesn't suddenly mean that 2*2 isn't four.
