The Religion and Political Views of
Neil DeGrasse Tyson was born in Manhattan, New York and grew up across the bridge in Brooklyn, New York.
He's another example of the scientific prodigy, giving formal lectures on astronomy at the age of 15.
As one of the world's most famous astrophysicists, Tyson is regularly asked about his religious views.
He jokes about this, saying the question and answer portion of his lectures always follows a certain pattern: questions about the lecture, questions about "sexy" astrophysics concepts like black holes and quasars, and then questions about God.[1]
Tyson is a scientist and has called himself an agnostic.[2] If he were to believe in God, Tyson says it wouldn't be the loving God described by the big three monotheistic religions.
He says:
Every account of a higher power that I've seen described, of all religions that I've seen, include many statements with regard to the benevolence of that power. When I look at the universe and all the ways the universe wants to kill us, I find it hard to reconcile that with statements of beneficence.[3]
