Cosmos series on Fox

[CatholicEdHead]

I am enjoying the Cosmos series on Fox. I checked and there are the usual responses from the Freepers. So sad they ignore science and technology. It is sad such a large part of our population thinks this way, Rebublicans have come a long way since the Science and Technology push of the Eisenhower years.

Covers evolution?? I could do that in six words ( "Evolution is a bunch of bullshit.&quot ...

I wonder if we’ll get all the secular atheistic cr%p from DeGrasse like usual.

Carl Sagan was a fool, an "educated" fool but a fool nevertheless, believing the junk science of global warming. He was a globalist, peacenik, anti-nuclear nut and a tree-hugger. See this 1989 video to get the full measure of this secular humanist.

1. This episode should get the wingnuts' undies in a bunch.

4. LOL I was thinking the same thing as I sit here watching it...

I heard there were some Fox outlets that censored parts of last weeks episode. Well... they have their work cut out this week...hehehe

3. It almost seems a

Waste to have it on FOX. Most of their viewers will SLEEP though it.

5. FOX TV isn't the same as FOX News (though under the same ownership).

FOX TV carries shows like The Simpsons and is often watched by sane people.

7. This is also probably slated for international distribution

And Rupert Mudroch can see the $$$ in that (and other money symbols I am too lazy to search for on my keyboard right now)

22. yikes

I slept through it. Oh man, had terrible night last night, fell asleep right after the dog evolution. Will have to rewatch it online or TV. I couldnt believe it.

6. Loved the declaration that, like the theory of gravity, the theory of evolution is FACT

8. It is embarrassing for our country that this is controversial. nt

14. I'd love to see Bill Maher do a New Rule about Cosmos and the right wing reaction.

9. It was very interesting tonight and held my attention.

Unlike the first episode.

10. I think I heard about 50 or so large bangs.

Whenever the word 'evolution', 'natural selection', or'fact' was brought up. Jesus Heads exploding all over the place. We could be in for a new ice age from all the dust they'll kick up over this.

11. Anyone know if the water bears (Tardigrades) shown tonight were actual photos or computer animation?

13. The awesome water bears.

I think they looked like actual film (so to speak). At some point it really does not matter whether they were animation or not. As long as the portrayal is realistic the outcome is still that tardigrades are fucking awesome, and kinda cute, too.

The Cosmos tonight was very good. But again, the ads break ruin the continuity.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. I wish water bears were bigger, so you could watch them

and maybe keep them as pets.

Not too big, though. If they were the size of sea lions that would be creepy.

[longship]

16. You already have them as pets.

Apparently they're all over the place. Get yer magnifying glass out.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. But I want to be able to cuddle them and pet them!

I'm afraid I might be accidentally eating them.

[longship]

19. I don't think they'd make good pets.

They're .5 mm long as adults. But they are awesome cute.

Their history and science is fucking awesome.

Here's an awesome pic:


Maybe we ought to have Sunday LOLWaterBears!

20. They are indestructible, so they'll come out ok in the end.

If you know what I mean.

21. I didn't watch tonight, but tardigrades are every where on earth...and can go almost everywhere...

18. looks like racist comments trump scince too in their freep worlld

,,,,,,,,,sad if that is all they got....

"Screw that affirmative-action baby NDT"

"BUT, for ‘you’, to start screaming at ME, that “Dis iz dah way d’at it dun iz, an’ nobody nohow ain’ta gonna think difrent!”, is childish and stupid, and disrespectfu"l
