“On this day long ago, a child was born who, by age 30, would transform the world,” the “Cosmos” host tweeted Thursday. “Happy Birthday Isaac Newton b. Dec 25, 1642.”

I liked it, too. Then when I saw the reaction, I shared it on twitter and facebook.

Ha-ha, I did not know he had such birth date

 

[Jolly_Penguin]

I so love this guy.

 

[Mumbles]

Let's be honest - if "Cosmos" had been named "Neil Degrasse Tyson Trolls the Shit out of Young Earth Creationists", would you be surprised? He's been mocking them for a while now.

 

[barbos]

I so love this guy.

I love Isaac Newton too.

 

[Terrell]

Love it. More reasons to like Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson. Cosmos, Death by Black Hole & other Cosmic Quandries, The Pluto Files, and his ribbing of creationists.

Okay, I'll do it....

Isaac Newton was an alchemist and a mystic... I can't believe you libs are worshipping him!

Oh, I think that is so cute!

He stole this from an episode of The Big Bang Theory. Sheldon made the exact same point.

How do you know that he didn't steal that line from Neil?!!!?

 

[credoconsolans]

The angry tweets from Christians just makes you cringe with the racism and ignorance.

Maybe a writer got the idea from Neil, but a very similar joke was used on the show.

I'm not sure what problem Christian's have with celebrating Newton's birthday on his birthday.

I can see how this one gets their hypocritical hearts all a-flutter:

Merry Christmas to all. A Pagan holiday (BC) becomes a Religious holiday (AD). Which then becomes a Shopping holiday (USA).

but how are the rest *slurs* against christianity?

They're not slurs. You're not dealing with a rational person if they take this as a slur. It's admirably clever, cute and intellectual, the very anathema of religious thought. A religious person of average intelligence might respond "touché." A religious douchebag, on the other hand, will be offended.

That the so-called Christians who are offended are sitting there reading that with all their shopping done for Christmas scattered around them is just a wee bit hypocritical.

Guess they're mad because they know they are guilty.
