I'm not religious so have no reason to dissagree on those grounds, but divide and concour is the agenda, and that includes breaking up religions.

"Goodbye to God and Religion" That only took a second. What do I do in the next thirty two minutes fifty nine seconds Oh I get it...Say "Goodbye to God and Religion in just 33 Minutes"......all right, sorry about being confused.
when I say I don't believe in a god, I want to back that belief up with as much logic as possible. Seeing as I'm human, I admit that there have been experiences where I've said, "Whoa, this sure seemed supernatural to me." Like when I just happened to find a $20 on the ground when I had absolutely nothing to eat. Or, when I blew every dime I had on gambling, but my very last dollar won all my money back.
Without having any knowledge of the world I wouldn't have been able to think on why a god would drop me a $20 when there are millions of people starving to death every day (answer: a god wouldn't do that), or why a god would steal the money I lost to someone else and give it back to me. Gods don't steal and they don't play favorites. Well, not any god that I would care too worship if I so desired. But, without knowledge it is easy for us humans to fall victim to such ignorant beliefs. Knowledge is power, it keeps demons from hiding under our beds and gods from using us as puppets.

That is what I conclude of this anyway, I suppose this will bring on the wrath of some people.
Wouldn't it be nice to know what the trees know or the animals and fish know? Is this communication proven not to exist? No it has not been proven.
God is pretty good about showing himself to many people and through big events throughout history....

Are you spiritual, at least? Do you believe in some kind of ether? Or is this all that there is?

I watched the entire video.
While Neille DeGrasse Tyson comes across as very charismatic and a good speaker....some of his points were simply absurd. The first 25 or so minutes had me interested and then he just....lost it towards the end.
Here are a few highlights.
1. At around 29:00 minutes, he states "most places in the universe will kill life instantly".
This is the kind of silliness we hear from sign wielding doomsday prophets. Of course, most places in the universe would kill life instantly. No sane human would think otherwise. Its strange coming from an astrophysicist, of all people.
2. At around 31 minutes, he goes on to talk about the shortcomings of the human body.
He gives the example of how humans need to keep eating constantly. Yes. A healthy looking, obviously well fed man complaining about having to, of all things, eat constantly.
Of course, its a shortcoming..... only in the mind of Neil deGrasse Tyson.
3. It just keeps getting better. At around 32 minutes he says "imagine if you had a separate hole for breathing, eating and talking.. that would just be really cool". He claims its not a "hard request " because other mammals like dolphins eat and breathe through different holes.
I got a hearty laugh out of this one. It reminded me of my 5 year old self, when I thought it would be cool if we had wings like birds.
He then goes on to imply that humans risk choking to death because we eat, breathe and drink through the same hole. I'm sorry Neil, most humans get by everyday eating, drinking, breathing and talking through the same hole. If you experience difficulty in doing so, you need to see a doctor.
In conclusion, if this is what passes off as being "profound" these days... then there is a problem. On a more personal note, I'm also confused as to how rants like this are supposed to get one to say "goodbye to God and religion", as the thread title seems to promise.
