Creationists held a pity party for themselves Thursday because “Cosmos” isn’t being fair and balanced to their beliefs.

“Creationists aren’t even on the radar screen for them, they wouldn’t even consider us plausible at all,” said Danny Falkner, of Answers In Genesis, which has previously complained about the show.

Falkner appeared Thursday on “The Janet Mefford Show” to complain the Fox television series and its host, Neil deGrasse Tyson, had marginalized those with dissenting views on accepted scientific truths, reported Right Wing Watch.

“I don’t recall seeing any interviews with people – that may yet come – but it’s based upon the narration from the host and then various types of little video clips of various things, cartoons and things like that,” Falkner said.

Mefferd said the show should at least offer viewers a false compromise.

“Boy, but when you have so many scientists who simply do not accept Darwinian evolution, it seems to me that that might be something to throw in there, you know, the old, ‘some scientists say this, others disagree and think this,’ but that’s not even allowed,” she said.

I do not personally represent Cosmos, nor Professor Tyson, but I would like to answer this request on behalf of all critically thinking science lovers.

Oh HELL no!

There is not one scintilla of true scientific knowledge contained in the "research" of Creationism.

The entire movement is based on misunderstanding, misrepresenting, and misappropriating scientific terms in order to cobble together a presentation that fools small children and addle brained adults.


If every ounce of scientific discovery made by a so-called Creationist were suddenly transformed into dynamite it would not add up to enough explosive force to equal an ant fart.

These people are charlatans and should be tar and feathered, and run out of town to protect our children from their brain cell murdering nonsense.

And I am pretty sure Professor Tyson agrees with that.

“You don’t talk about the spherical Earth with NASA, and then say let’s give equal time to the flat Earthers,” Tyson told CNN. “Plus, science is not there for you to cherry pick.”

It is time for these superstitions dipshits to read the writing on the wall. Their time is rapidly coming to a close, and the new religion is science. Which, by the way, does NOT require a suspension of critical thinking skills either.

In fact, it requires just the opposite.
