Cosmos: A SpaceTime Odyssey

[Houston]

Premieres tonight on about 5 different channels, can't wait!

 

[JayDizzle]

Got me to skip watching first-airings of Zombie Soap Opera.

Dr. Tyson's got my attention.

 

[Rylo]

Uhmazin.

NDGT <3

Bit about good ol Carl at the end got me sad. Great man. I'm sure he'd be super proud though.

 

[Rylo]

Also got goosebumps when he said it. We. Are made. Of Star Stuff.

Also also couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of religious people watching the show and the conversations they could possibly be having and possible rage quite/channels changes that happened.

I was thinking that too when he said we still don't know where life came from.

I dug that there was no implicated malice towards the Church (etc.) [other than the Inquisition] but rather that there was a man within their ranks that simply thought that there was MORE out there.

That the idea of the Earth simply being all there was in the Universe and nothing else mattered was wrong.

And that we ended up with the show that exclaimed that there's more out there than just the Observable Universe.

There's room for Science and Religion to co-exist and there was even mention of whatever Flying Spaghetti Monster out there having say over more than just our backwater planet.

...

Now all I want is for the planet to put all the money into renewable energy and the Space Program so we can go out and visit stars and planets that we don't know exist yet.

Addendum:

The Cosmic Calendar year from The Big Bang to now was Crazy.

The last second of this supposed year is when we finally got off of our asses and looked toward the stars?

Makes my worrying about how much a burrito would be at the local Moe's mean jack shit. :troy:

 

[Houston]

It was a tad bit dumbed down(understandably so), but I hope he gets into some deeper stuff later.

I've always liked the way he presents his research and thoughts, like the one here at 7:30. One of my favorites of his.

Mind altering stuff, pretty much destroys the idea of E.T.

 

[DDRGuido]

It's re-airing on NatGeo at midnight. Going to catch it now.

Ready for bricks to be shat.

In Religions eyes Science can't co exist. Look at the section of the own show for example of dude being cast out for his views that did not coincide with the religious views. Then turn the clock to today and just take a look at what we have. Retarded ass religitards who won't steer anywhere from the Bible/Quran because JEEZUS CHRIST/DA PROPHET and DA BIBLEZ etc etc etc. I've never met someone who was highly religious and believed in the wide scope of Science and the Astrological schematics that have been researched and continue to be discovered. It just does not work in todays world or in the past and for our society to function even further, and even so, at a more fast paced degree of discovery and research, religion needs to be abolished. That's just one insignificant Atheists viewpoint, though.

Tax churches for a week, and science programs will have more money than they knew what to do with.

There are many many many many religious scientists. The premise that scientist = atheist is a myth and has been propagated by atheists to back there point of view.

Hopefully this DVRd last night ,cant wait to watch.

 

[Rylo]

Im well aware their are religious scientists, I clearly said I have never MET anyone who integrates both into their own beliefs. The amount of intelligent or at the very least OPEN MINDED religious is laughable compared to the close minded tards of every religion.

This episode is on evolution, can't wait to see the reaction it gets:lol:

 

[JayDizzle]

I wasn't full-on entertained about the Evolution episode (although the genesis of how the eyeball came to be was fascinating).

This week though?

They managed to make gravity and interstellar calculation interesting as fuck to me.

Also, seeing Issac Newton's saltiness towards Cooke boil over into him allegedly burning Cooke's portrait at the Royal Society was a hoot.

Can't wait until next week.

 

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

Have only watched one...the eyeball stuff was great.
This weeks ep seems dedicated to trashing religion. I dont understand why its taking shots at religion was the original like that ? I watched too many eons ago to recall.

 

[Villain]

As much as I don't care to be involved in an anti-theist circle jerk, I do have to say that I'm horrified by the notion that my first pick for grad school has a young-earth creationist as its president.

lol How did you find this out ? I fee your religious beliefs should be kept to yourself unless its on topic. If you're known for your religious belief in professional circles its a little weird.

So far, a fantastic update to Sagan's super awesome original back in the 80's. Perfect guy in NdGT to host this thing.

Loving how they are intertwining human history with all of the other topics discussed. A true web of influences.

A+ stuff so far, really well done.

Marked out hard for the evolution episode.
