Neil deGrasse Tyson - The Last Wish of an Atheist

[DaylightDigital]

NDT is a self-proclaimed agnostic fyi. He also says he "doesn't care because he is busy unlocking the mysteries of the universe." More importantly, he is a rationalist focused on an understanding of the world that is based on observation and not dogma.

And your wish will be granted, Tyson. "For as dust you are so to dust you shall return" taken from Genesis 3:19....The question you must answer however is, where would your soul spend its eternity?

[14sJakeB190]

@crisgai1 No where. In the dark empty abyss of oblivion that is non-existence.



What makes you believe a soul exists?

[14sJakeB190]

@crisgai1 Oh wait, and don't tell me the bible. God, why don't you actually go out and try to prove there is an afterlife or something instead of blindly shouting out bible stuff.

Atheism is at it's highest peak now, and will only keep growing.

So far there is no one who is actually trying to prove there is a soul or a god.

Why don't you dedicate your life to try to show people the evidence before it's too late.

[tpstrat14]

but then where do YOU go? you stop existing? for sure?

[ubermensch826]

You can tell Richard Dawkins is such a Neil deGrasse Tyson fanboy.

[LeLimeLine]

Tyson, forever with class.

[JosefHolub18]

Neil deGrasse Tyson isn't an atheist, he is agnostic! Just so everybody knows this! So your title of this video is incorrect, uploader!

[rmutt4]

Religion is BS. but Neil deGrasse is a tiresome pseudo intellectual who enjoys the dulcet tones of his own voice waaaaay too much.

[HermesvV]

@rmutt4 a false intellectual my ass. This man is intelligent. He has the work ethic to make it into Harvard. Not only that but who cares if he likes to hear himself talk. His presentational skill are out of this world. They are inspiring to so many and make science seem as interesting as it really is.

[fr0ber]

@rmutt4 Lol 'pseudo' intellectual that not only got a B.A. at Harvard, an M.A. at the University of Texas and a Ph.D. in astrophysics at Columbia, but actually wrote/co-wrote 11 useful scientific papers and more than 5 books on science for the general public - this all to contribute to you and me living on a better, more technologically advanced and informed planet.

Cute.

[AgrivatedKillah]

@rmutt4 Wtf?

How is he anything like that?

How is he a false intellectual?

I'd be willing to bet all my earnings that he is more intelligent than you.

[mikeylikesit2675]

@rmutt4 well just bc Tyson can speak to people of smaller intellects very articulately is by no means is indicative of a lack of intelligence or hard intellectual work. if anything its more difficult to explain complex advanced scientific concepts to people who couldnt map the solar system. so you are not only a douche for your attempt at making fun of a very understanding kind and super smart person who literally improves the planet with his presence but you are also entirely fucking wrong.

[HybridD91]

@rmutt4 I wonder why he's a 'pseudo' intellectual? Guess you would have to get a Ph.D form Columbia to help me understand that. We less intelligent folk aren't as smart as you.

[rmutt4]

@HybridD91

I seem to have hit a chord among Neil deGrasse Tyson's followers......

[GiantSandles]

@rmutt4 Nope, it's just funny how you're calling someone who is clearly orders of magnitude smarter than you a 'pseudo-intellectual'.

[DoctorNociceptor]

Can I have a bite?

[AthleticFreeThinker]

That was beautiful.

[shandcunt]

Fuck Yeah, thats awesome, beautiful
