Hey Neil, explain how stars had names thousands of years prior to Islam existing?

The stars were named WAY before 600 AD.

Um ... Arabs maybe, but Muslims didn't even exist until 600 years AFTER the birth of Christ!

We know that isn’t true because the Muslims would have named them all Mohammed.

Culture is destiny which is why there’s an Indian orbiter around Mars and Muslim suicide bombers across the Earth.

Money shot...

Actually, anyone with $34.95 can name a star.

Its not surprising that a person so ingnorant of history should be a mouthpiece for the anti-human culture growing up in our midst, no, what pisses me off is that they’re using MY MONEY to fund this sick charade!

"Do atheists gather and strategize? I can't do that. I can't gather around and talk about how much everybody in the room doesn't believe in God."

Yes, Neil, you actually can:

The 2015 American Atheists National Convention - April 2-5, 2015 - Peabody Hotel in Memphis, Tennessee.

It’s ethnocentric that he believes that the English language words for the stars (with their allegedly Arabic origins) are the official names of the stars.

Another money shot:

“Hindu and Greek science was the source of much of the Arab science of the so-called Golden Age of Islam.”

Neil is what the brothers usually call a “jive-turkey”.

And when Neil says, “Do you believe in gravity?”

I reply, “No, but I can use an experiment to prove to myself it exists. I can’t do that with AGW, and that’s what makes AGW a religion, not a science.”

Neil deGrasse Tyson, aka The Drama Queen.

What was his big contribution to science anyways?

He was part of the group that downgraded Pluto from planetary status. How’s that for making a worthwhile contribution to science? That laugh line even showed up on “Big Bang Theory”.
