When Neil deGrasse Tyson rebooted Cosmos creationists, who don’t agree with basically any of it, cried fowl. They demanded equal time to explain their version of the universe and now they’ve got it.

Suggested Reading: “Why creationists can’t be scientists”
There is an excellent article on Salon that I’ve been trying to comment on for about 20 minutes. Sadly they’ve chosen to use Livefyre for comments so all I’ve done is battle with error messages.

If you’re like me, you never thought that Christian extremists would arrive at a point where even (epic nutjob) Pat Robertson was concerned for their mental health.
