@joshyy1832 that's the big question isn't it. the religious just simply say "it was god" and they're done with it. and the scientific try harder to understand the origins of the universe and our existence.
This concept makes religion seem small and backwards. Who would trade our real legacy for religions horrible legacy? Only the small and backward. Our roots are so much greater than we could have ever known. I'm glad science, logic and reason have been able to shine a light on it for those who can grasp it and understand the immensity of it all.

This Nig Is Full Of Shit!!!...Where did he get his Knowledge? He Read Someone's Books and he was told what to think and say!! He Is A Tool Of The Evil Powers Of this World And Is Paid to spew forth this dribble In order to Discredit God and Christanty!!
@Dvdog007 And where did you get your knowledge? From a book! Wake up you fool! YOU were told what to think and say, YOU read someone elses book. YOU are the tool of the evil powers and YOU are the one who is discrediting your own god with your foul attitude towards others. YOU are supposed to be the loving one if you really are a christian, it is YOU who must be accepting of all people and be peaceful. It is not your right to judge, UNLESS! You are being unfaithful to your god that is!
@joshyy1832 I was just wondering where and when exactly did I mention anything about evolution being a fact? Your simply trying generalize me to bring me down but it won't work, everything that I said was justified. Nice try buddy, I can only hope that your not some religious cook trying to knock me down a peg because I understand organized religion is based off of fairytales. At least I can admit evolution is a theory, unlike the bible thumpers who blindly stick to their guns without budging.
What we should be spreading, really, is that God, in the hands of fundamentalist Christians that are in a position of power is an extremely dangerous thing. Religion in itself, regardless of how how based in fantasy it all really is, isn't a dangerous thing. It's not a good thing, but it's not especially bad. When our political leaders become brainwashed by religion, then religion becomes very, very dangerous.
He was at this event in Vegas called The Amaz!ng meeting. So I wander off to the Presenter's Lounge and see him here. I sit next to him and say Hi etc. He notices my zombie shirt and we start talking about zombies
TL;DR Me and Niel DeGrasse Tyson talked about zombies.
It's people like Neil that help restore my faith in humanity. Such a vibrant person. If only this could be in the newspaper headlines instead of things like Casey Anthony we would be much better off.
Where is the beauty in that? There is none, unless man writes it down in a book. The words which are spoken by Neil aren't made up like religious texts, they are researched universal truths, which makes them all the more beautiful.

Silly atheist trying to make up a creation story that gives meaning to life. If you're a materialist you must admit that nothing has meaning beyond that which is subjectively applied by humans - there is no creation story, there is no intent or majesty; just because a sun exploded, sending it's energy everywhere, eventually agglomerating as people, doesn't mean anything at all. As a materialist, one must admit that this is meaningless.
@FatPlus1 Majesty and meaning are both relative terms. Weather a person gives something meaning or sees majesty in something is just as or more relevant than a god doing the same.
@FatPlus1 Hit the nail on the head. I've been an atheist, and the "beauty of the universe is beautiful enough and better without God" and all that is so obnoxious and untrue. Endless nothingness, atoms or not. Convinced yourself it's beautiful by some subjective human definition? Wait a few decades, you'll forget anything ever existed. Tell me how beautiful it is then. Observing beauty = appreciating genius. That is all that can make the cosmic ballet beautiful. By accident, it's meaningless.
@PlanetMan77 And then you hit like, thirty-five years old or something, and the lack of evidence for a god was too much for you to handle, so you found Jesus and now you'll never have to live with the thought of nothingness ever again, right?
@PhelanVelvel 21 years of age, not a Christian or part of any "religion", let alone a born-again or whatever. More of a gnostic with some personal revelation. But that's not even the issue! We're discussing how a neutral, accidental, wholly materialistic universe can possibly be "beautiful" when by definition it's NOTHING more than a bag of colourless, meaningless sand. But nice try, Hannibal. You clearly prefer failing to size up strangers than size up the universe, so why bother?
@PlanetMan77 the universe is not intrinsically beautiful or meaningful, it can only be beautiful or meaningful to an agent who perceives beauty or meaning. This agent is also a construct of instrinically meaningless matter, just one that perceives meaning. All of the bits in your computer are externally random and meaningless, and yet, your browser, an agent in the universe of your computer, can perceive meaning in some of these random bits, namely the contents of message you are now reading.
@FatPlus1 Let me just stop you on that first sentence (didn't read past it). Scientist are NOT "making up" anything. Rather they are trying to make sense of facts that are already there. They try to find those facts. Then try to make sense of them. No "making up of" anything.
You don't even know what science is.... it is important to know what science is before you go on criticizing anything.
@FatPlus1 Silly theist trying to make up a creation story that gives meaning to life. Creating a deity just so that your own insignificant lives have any semblance of meaning. There is no divine creation, only a juvenile explanation as to why we're here and why we're important because your feeble minds can't contemplate the majesty of the universe for what it is. Saying Gods put us above all else in some arrogant way to explain the complexity of reality. You have to admit, that sounds ridiculous
As long as we insist on perceiving life as chemistry, we will remain primitives. Consciousness is eternal energy. There is no starting point of time, in time. There is no edge of space, in space. There is no creation without intent. Creation is consciousness and infinite.
this is so beautiful! This is why we as the human race should not really give a damn about what celebs do but instead figure out what the universe is doing.. and why.
Definitely fills me with joy! Hopefully soon those who are imprisoned by intelligent design can break apart from those beliefs and open their eyes to what the universe offers, knowledge!

Seriously, I conceived of this concept of life before ever seeing this video. Simple fact is... everything is energy, some are just inert, others are traveling beyond the speed of time itself. Every aspect of the universe is energy regardless if it's light or the theorized dark-matter unto gravity itself.
I do enjoy Neil Degrasse Tyson, however, his narrations are but almost as good as Carl Sagan.
Before I have ever heard of Panthiesm, it was my origin of opinion before I ever discovered the definition and identity of this belief. Which blows my mind because its the atoms, molecules and the laws of nature!! and it all makes sense. I have tried to understand christianity and most of the other ethnic and religious groups, but none of it made any sense at all. Now I know where my mind belongs. Panthiesm!!!
Mr Tyson.. Your words echo through out my mind daily.. They continue to inspire me as well as enlighten me.. As they will someday for my children and for my childrens children.. Thank you sir !!
I'm not gonna lie I have to hold back tears every single time I play this video back. It's moving on a INTENSELY profound level that I don't think that even religious people can quite comprehend. It's not that it brings you to tears.. it is that it brings you to tears even if you are not easily brought to them.
This comment comes at the end of a 90min documentary. It is sublime, but you need to take it in context. That said, the last 30mins of this episode are must see tv and this clip embodies all that everyone must know.
funny that when anyone hear this they cheer up.. just look at every single comment with thumbs up :) This guy is forever my guru, how simple and delicate he puts the truth!
Your comment was 5 months ago I know, but just to let you know that is what I've been spreading to people. I sometimes let it slip that religion isn't exactly the best thing for our world, but I always say something like "Look at all of this! It's all related! And we're all a part of it!"
No, fuck that. Religion deserves to be ridiculed. It is the only way we'll get them to convert on our side. This beauty talk is appealing to us, but they'll just think we're equally dogmatic.
Neil deGrasse Tyson is a great inspiration and a gentlemen and a scholar. I wish more people would just view the world this way. Maybe we'd have more peace.
Wow! What a great man, It's not because he speaks poetically (anybody can do that) but that his poesy is based upon truth, The Old Testicles of the Babble is poetic but it is complete crap.
@thesimpsons2345 But to me, it's the same exact thing as God(not the God from major world religions, but rather God as in the true nature of existence and reality)
When I first saw these 55 seconds I remember how enthralled I was, more than my reading of the bible or ANYTHING. I still fee the same way now than I did when I saw this.
This is why astrophysics should be taught to kids instead of religion (which tends to preach how we're all different from each other, and how we're all slaves of a particular unseen deity)
this entire 90minute documentary changed my life when i watched it almost 3 years ago and im getting my b.s. in physics in three weeks and im hopin2do astrophysics n guys like tyson and kaku r largly responsible for sparking my brain2sumthing so obvious yet i never noticed
And the sooner we, as a species, recognized this immutable fact, the sooner we can finally live with real compassion for one another. We need to stop building the arbitrary barriers that allow us to perceive supposed difference and concentrate on acknowledging that we are all related to everything around. That knowledge will set us free and give us clarity to focus on that which is truly important: everlasting life is gained through the legacy we leave behind, not in a religious belief.
Any person with a lick of knowledge pretaining to the universe would know that EVERYTHING in the universe is family. Humans, stars, planets, the entire universe is bound with some type of lineage. That truly should make any person feel as if they belong in this crazy universe, and feel large due to that fact.
It is Mr. Tyson who can capture anyone's interest on his knowledge of the universe, or about astrophysics for that matter, and captivate to a vast extent.
Fix the audio dammit!

Your comment was 5 months ago I know, but just to let you know that is what I've been spreading to people. I sometimes let it slip that religion isn't exactly the best thing for our world, but I always say something like "Look at all of this! It's all related! And we're all a part of it!"

No, fuck that. Religion deserves to be ridiculed. It is the only way we'll get them to convert on our side. This beauty talk is appealing to us, but they'll just think we're equally dogmatic.

@hellomate639 True atheists aren't saying "God sucks". That would be admitting there is a God. We say "There is no god, and here's why..."

Neil deGrasse Tyson is a great inspiration and a gentlemen and a scholar. I wish more people would just view the world this way. Maybe we'd have more peace.

Wow! What a great man, It's not because he speaks poetically (anybody can do that) but that his poesy is based upon truth, The Old Testicles of the Babble is poetic but it is complete crap.

Certain parts of the Babble are nice though. Ecclesiates for example is a great existentialist writing. But that gawd crap? Total horseshit

@thesimpsons2345 But to me, it's the same exact thing as God(not the God from major world religions, but rather God as in the true nature of existence and reality)

Tyson, Dawkins, Attenborough. Fucking marvelouss. Makes any pope look like the choirboy-buggering ignoramus he is.

When I first saw these 55 seconds I remember how enthralled I was, more than my reading of the bible or ANYTHING. I still fee the same way now than I did when I saw this.

This is why astrophysics should be taught to kids instead of religion (which tends to preach how we're all different from each other, and how we're all slaves of a particular unseen deity)

And the sooner we, as a species, recognized this immutable fact, the sooner we can finally live with real compassion for one another. We need to stop building the arbitrary barriers that allow us to perceive supposed difference and concentrate on acknowledging that we are all related to everything around. That knowledge will set us free and give us clarity to focus on that which is truly important: everlasting life is gained through the legacy we leave behind, not in a religious belief.

Any person with a lick of knowledge pretaining to the universe would know that EVERYTHING in the universe is family. Humans, stars, planets, the entire universe is bound with some type of lineage. That truly should make any person feel as if they belong in this crazy universe, and feel large due to that fact.
It is Mr. Tyson who can capture anyone's interest on his knowledge of the universe, or about astrophysics for that matter, and captivate to a vast extent.
