This is a made up quote meant as a joke, but it's actually very close to his views, which are fucking ridiculous.
He's also stated that a totalitarian marxist/socialist welfare state is a must, or else we will all be forced into murder and cannibalism.
Not only does he not grasp the "testing" part of the scientific method, he goes off on political rants using logical fallacies every other sentence.

The 80% that make up the nation are not fundamentalists.
If they were, you'd see a very different united state then you do now.
The majority of people are still moron that use more fallacies than they use logic, but they're still not as dumb as people that think the world is only 2,190,000 days old.

got that wrong.
46% of Americans are young-earth creationists.

if we add in old-earth creationists the number is presumably much higher. It might be fair to guess that well over half of Americans are creationists.

Tyson has made it a point to never engage in any religious debate. He says nothing in regards to religion - he's never even claimed to be an atheist, much to the chagrin of other prominent atheist scientists. He purposefully stays out of religious discussion to the best of his ability.

I'm not saying he's not a hack - I'm just saying you should know a little bit more about the people you're attempting to criticize.

Say what you want about Michio Kaku but he's easily the best scientist out of the "science education" group since Sagan.

>Harvard Summa Cum Laude/Top of his Physics class
>Built a fucking particle accelerator in highschool
>70+ Published Articles
>Co-Founder of String Theory (Pretty much a meme now but still impressive)
>Significant contributions to QFT and Superstring theory

Just because he decided to sell out and make millions by writing about the "future of science xD" doesn't discredit the fact that on a given day, he's almost certainly the smartest and most accomplished guy in the room.

>> No.8155376

>>8155373
Michio Kaku is good and all that, but all that shit about the future of science with those cringy videos that he does makes you kinda believe he is a hack, actually that was what I thought when I saw him for the first time in a video shared by a "I'm superior for sharing science videos in my social networks" faggot that failed in the school.
