Neil Degrasse Tyson's Propaganda for His Atheism

[TheLogicalRationalist]

Neil Degrasse Tyson's "Cosmos: A Space Time Odyssey" 2014 tv series is propaganda for atheists.

For example, he said in episode 3, "Everyone looked at the perfection, the clockwork motions of the planets in the sky and could only understand it as the work of a master clockmaker. How else to explain it? There is only one way such a thing could come about in their imagination. Only one answer for them. GOD. For reasons beyond our understanding God just created the solar system that way. But this explanation is a closing of the door. It doesn't lead to other questions."

Neil is evil. He is going to Hell. It's easy to see. He rejects Jesus as his Lord and Savior. Why is that the door is closed knowing God created the universe? Are theists incapable of asking other questions?

You misunderstand the quote. Tyson is describing a "god of the gaps" argument. For instance we know the processes the result in lightning, no need to attribute lightning to Thor.

Similarly we have observed accretion disks at various "stages". We know they exist, we know they form planets. What we observe in our solar system is exactly what we expect to find, given what we know about accretion processes.

Tysons point is; saying "god just did it like that" doesn't add anything to our knowledge of the observable universe. That position does not hold any explanatory power.

The "other questions" Tyson is referring to, are questions that the people who hold the "god just did it like that" position are incapable of asking. The "how" questions, because they already have their answer "god". But again, this does not add anything to our knowledge of how the universe works, there is no explanatory power in an answer like that.

If your position is that a supernatural entity is responsible for the solar system being "created" essentially as we see it today and you reject any position that does not agree with that conclusion, any question associated with observations that contradict their position are invalid to the person who holds that position.

The more "power" or influence over the physical world one gives to a supernatural entity, the less explanatory power the "answers" to questions about the physical world will have. I could just as easily substitute the word "magic" in place of the "god just did it like that" answer and the explanatory power is exactly the same. Saying "magic" or "god did it" does not explain how matter was distributed (and is currently being distributed) throughout our solar system, accretion theory does.

Does a watchmaker make clocks by not asking questions? No, of course not.

Does a clockmaker make clocks my asking questions? No, of course not.

A clockmaker makes clocks by... making clocks.

Why is it beyond our understanding if we have faith?

Nothing in your quote of Tyson says anything about faith. So I don't know why you think that he thinks that your faith makes explanations about observable reality beyond your understanding.

Cannot someone who has faith in Christ ask the question why God ordered our solar system the way it is?

Again, nothing in your quote of Tyson mentions faith or Christ, so I don't know why you are mentioning them.

Tyson is referencing people who will not except any answer other then "god did it like that". Like the creation myths from primitive, superstitious and scientifically illiterate cultures.

A position that is formed through scientific ignorance and superstition does not usually lead to questions not already addressed in the position (whether or not the answers to those questions are accurate or not). And that typically those positions will reject anything that does not support, or is in conflict with that position.

Sure there are those who will take a presupposed conclusion and try to make reality fit their already reached conclusion. But that isn't science..

The arrogance of Neil Degrasse Tyson makes one cringe when he speaks.

I fail to see anything arrogant in the quote you provided. Perhaps you could post some of those and explain what makes them arrogant so that I can address them.

I cannot stress enough how those such as Neil who have the evil spirit indwelling their spirit

I'm curious, how can you tell if someone has a "evil spirit" in their spirit? Or a "spirit" for that matter? What methods does one use to detect such things? What tools can I use to independently verify these assertions? How can this claim be falsified?

...use these endlessly underhanded or offhanded comments unquestioningly as though they were reality.

Again, I fail to see how anything in the quote you provided was "underhanded" or "offhanded". I did my best to address your apparent misunderstanding (no offence) of the quote. If you would care to elaborate further, that would be much appreciated

The question to ask is, Why does Neil hate God so much?

My answer to that would be; he doesn't hate god. He does not believe such a thing exists.

I would posit that Tyson hates god no more then he hates flying unicorns, invisible leprechauns, the Easter bunny, or anything else he doesn't believe in..

He is always knocking God or God's prophets.

Again, since you did not provide any quotes I cannot address this assertion. If you would like to post them and explain why you believe those quotes "knock" your particular deity and its subsequent "prophets", I will be happy to address them for you.
