Neil deGrasse Tyson

Admission time: I have a slight man-crush on Neil deGrasse Tyson. Besides being
The man has an awesome mustache that could lead men into battle in days gone by. Just look at this BAMF

Tyson was offered to be an understudy of Carl Sagan at Cornell University, but turned it down to study at Harvard instead. Today, he keeps Sagan's legacy alive by studying the stars and funneling his knowledge down to the common people. Along with Stephen Hawking and Noam Chomsky, Neil Tyson is one man whose lifetime I consider myself lucky to live during.

Though Tyson hasn't fully come out and said specifically that he is an atheist, here's a video of him ripping apart "Stupid Design" which is a moniker for intelligent design.

  2. This guy is the man. There are a couple pro-"intelligent" design documentaries on netflix I've been watching for fun. It's nuts the way they try to spin things.

  4. Tyson is amazing and a great speaker. I want to see him talk live one day. I probably need to get up to the Hayden Planetarium or something.
