Creationists Condemn Neil DeGrasse Tyson's 'Cosmos' for Pro-Evolution Stance

Creationists are up in arms about Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson's science documentary television series, because they say the show does not present their beliefs alongside evolutionary theories.

Danny Faulkner, an astronomer who works with Answers in Genesis, a Christian ministry and its Kentucky-based Creation Museum, spoke out against the program Thursday on The Janet Mefferd Show. He took issue with many aspects of Cosmos' first two episodes, including its positive stance on biogenesis and its assertion that the universe is billions of years old.
