It's sad to say, but Tyson is probably dealing with more crap than Sagan did because America is even more anti-intellectual than it was a few decades ago.

I remember caring about debunking this stuff. It is so void of a viable foundation, it is nearly impossible to debate away with a true believer.

I clicked on the link in the article to go to the Discovery Institute, which as I remember is funded in part by Bill Gates Foundation, and instead went to http://www.waronscience.com/excerpt.php?p=2

The Discovery Institute is linked to the Heritage Foundation through Edwin Meese III.

Not so coincidentally, Druyan and McFarlane remade the show precisely to counter what they see as increasing anti-intellectualism. The reaction to the show just confirms the importance of doing the show and of generally countering religions efforts to undermine science.
