Just a quick note, Neil Degrasse Tyson will be one of the featured speakers at the IES convention this year. None of the speakers except Cuttle the "futurist" actually have anything to do with lighting - perhaps they are taking that "Illuminating" thing a bit differently.

Yes, it's inflammatory. But either these quotes are legit or they're not.

Tyson's wikipedia entry is being repeatedly scrubbed of any mention of it. You can see the edit history here.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Neil_deGrasse_Tyson&action=history

Sorry for the poor poll wording.

what's more interesting than some left wing media star making up stuff about what a republican said (tyson has admitted his lie/error) is wikipedia's attempt to erase the federalist from it's site because they reported on it. on the other hand you have to laugh at the folks who use wiki as a source for any research or information.

Science and scientists get dragged into politics all the time. Once there he's just supposed to do... what? Not have opinions?

I don't know...maybe learn to tell the truth.

Has has apologized and taken responsibility for it. And while I don't know him personally, I'm sure he's generally fine at telling the truth.

Now climb down from your high horse, sillypants.

Anyone who says true Christians worship the same God as Muslims worship is a liar or ignorant. Either way, he is are clearly not trustworth.

Jesus Christ is God Incarnated. Christian belief in God the Trinity

Muslims worship a false god who is actually a demon called Allah.

Who those names refer to when they worship is what matters.

I name my cat Allah. Since Muslims worship Allah, would you say Muslims worship my cat?

You were acting as if its OK to lie as long as he has an opinion, that's what I was responding to.

At any rate, anyone deliberately fabricating quotes for "several years" isn't really apologetic, or he would have stopped long ago.

Everyone's sorry when they get caught.

FTFY.

A handful of liberals that are regulars here are some of the dumbest people I've ever encountered that wear failure, helplessness, envy and bitter douche-baggery like badges of honor, but leave it to leftists to think they're actually smarter than everyone else.

Says the guy who doesn't know the difference between all not and not all.

You are terrible at interpreting my "acting".

Conservatives don't like him because he uses the scientific method. Anyone who uses facts and reason needs to be brought down.
