Creationists Hit the Panic Button After Neil DeGrasse Tyson Demolishes Their Myth That the Universe

129. Gonna have to disagree with you on that.

Yes, it may be true that the scientific establishment may not be perfect; after all, some people still think we are apes like gorillas for example(evidence *does* tell us that we share a common ancestor, but that we aren't apes ourselves).....and that ontological materialism(as practiced by people such as Richard Dawkins; as in, the "if you cannot observe it normally it must not be" school of thought) in particular does have many of its own faults similar to that of creationism in some aspects.

However, though, while the interpretation of science, of any kind, may sometimes not be perfect, the science of evolution itself is very much concrete and backed up with solid research. Has been for many, many years now.

I can also say that science in general is always evolving, even if progress sometimes takes a while, due to skepticism, or office politics within establishments, etc.; for example, in the field of consciousness, there is an increasing amount of evidence that strongly suggests that not only is it possible that it may exist in some form after bodily death, but that the whole model of what we think of as "consciousness" may perhaps need to be reconstructed & re-evaluated to a point. Despite this, however, the establishment remains rather skeptical(and not always for the best of reasons), because it goes largely against what is still currently accepted by most.

I should add, by the way, that the same held true of Darwin's evolution theory as well, until about the 1920s here in the U.S., when the proof started to become undeniable.
