Who in the Hell is Laurel Brown? And why does she vacillate between trying to use Tyson as an expert to make her points and then speaking down to him as if she had some qualifications? And this is the best you can do is seek out obscure bloggers and bold what you like out of their unsophisticated and rather irrational musings?? Shows how dark it is in your head, doesn't it?

"Tyson has argued that the concept of intelligent design thwarts the advance of scientific knowledge. [40]HYPERLINK \l "cite_note-41"[41]HYPERLINK \l "cite_note-HolyWars-42"[42]

He has written and broadcast extensively about his views of science, spirituality, and the spirituality of science including the essays, "The Perimeter of Ignorance" [43] and "Holy Wars", [42] both appearing in Natural History magazine and the 2006 Beyond Belief workshop. [44]HYPERLINK \l "cite_note-45"[45] Tyson has collaborated with evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins and presented talks with him on religion and science. [46] When asked if he believed in a higher power, Tyson responded:

Every account of a higher power that I've seen described, of all religions that I've seen, include many statements with regard to the benevolence of that power. When I look at the universe and all the ways the universe wants to kill us, I find it hard to reconcile that with statements of beneficence." [47]
