Anything with Neil DeGrasse Tyson gets an automatic upvote from me. I realise his speech had quite the song of preaching at points, however, I'm curious why the title is calling him "Reverend"!

And if you haven't read his latest book "Death By Black Hole and Other Cosmic Quandaries", I highly recommend it.

I love listening to this man talk. Such a great mind, such a great speaker. Excellent find, brain.

I found that a little weird myself, black man behind lectern =/=> preacher. I had to check wikipedia, but he is apparently non-religious in any aspect, so I see no grounds for such a label, unless the poster wants to claim to revere him, which seems a reasonable enough position.

Rev. is a particularly problematic title, as it requires no qualifications, and has no discrete meaning. I won't even call preachers Rev.

Neil deGrasse Tyson is indeed not a "reverend", so I hope the title is changed. It's a good talk, though.

I like his closing remarks, or the end of the video at least, "85 % of academia rejects a personal god. Why isn't it 0%?"
