'Cosmos', The Spanish Inquisition and Education 'Reform' in NJ
Within the first 5 minutes of the new ‘Cosmos’ series hosted by astrophysicist, Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, he takes a not-too-subtle jab at creationists and climate deniers when he describes the explorers and dreamers over the course of human history who dared to imagine what was out there in space, and how we all got here.
Imagination alone isn’t enough. This adventure is made possible by generations of searchers, strictly adhering to a simple set of rules:
- Test ideas by experimentation and observation.
- Build on those ideas that pass the test.
- Reject the ones that fail.
- Follow the evidence wherever it leads.
- Question everything.
