Except Cosmos is literally one of the highest-quality science TV shows out there?


We're not talking about a YouTube series of stick figure animations called "God is a Lie: The War on Faith" put out by some fedora-obsessive asshat. We're talking about a well-funded, well-rounded television series, hosted by one of the best-known science communicators of all time, which happens to be the sequel to a well-funded, well-rounded, well-known, and thoroughly praised television series hosted by one of the best-known science communicators of all time, with one of the best-known science writers of all time working on both projects.


Note that this doesn't mean that pushing against Creationism being taught as science isn't a noble goal, nor that the singular purpose of Cosmos is to push back against Creationism. Remember, it's a science education show. It's supposed to teach those who don't know science about science, both basic and advanced, on a totally understandable level. It just happens to **** of Creationists because they don't like discussing science, and in doing so it becomes a tool to fight against these types of people who don't want to hear about real life.
