Neil deGrasse Tyson Trolls Christians on Christmas

14. The trolling is perpetrated by the writer of article.

The difference in dates between the Julian and Gregorian calendar is a Straw man argument and basically ridiculous. He lived in England, therefore his birthday is measured by the calendar used in England. Even now there are calendars other than the Gregorian that are used by different cultures. By their logic we all have different birthdays depending on which culture's calendar is being used. I think not. If he was in England, his birthday would be representative of where he was from and he would have had no choice in what a Monarch or Theologian forced their population use.

As far as accuracy, there is no calendar in use by any culture or nation that accurately depicts the placement of the earth in space and time in a form that we can hang on the refrigerator and know where in that space and time we were born. It's all arbitrary.

Whoever used the word "troll" in this article is the troll.
