It will star Neil De-Grasse Tyson and the team behind Cosmos, including Carl Sagan's widow, Ann Druyan.

According to the producers, the new series will tell "the story of how human beings began to comprehend the laws of nature and find our place in space and time. It will take viewers to other worlds and travel across the universe for a vision of the cosmos on the grandest scale. The most profound scientific concepts will be presented with stunning clarity, uniting skepticism and wonder, and weaving rigorous science with the emotional and spiritual into a transcendent experience."

This sounds completely wrong without the word "humour" thrown in here somewhere

I can't wait for this. I love Neil deGrasse Tyson. Interesting that it will be on primetime television; I hope it doesn't turn out to be a lofty, pseudosciency show like Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman.

I'm sure it won't be because Seth MacFarlane is mega-atheist, and Ann Druyan will be involved.

This could actually turn out to be preety good. A good science show from the us would be nice for a change, currently the only thing i watch are BBC documentaries and they rarely have more than 3 episodes per series.

I love Neil, and seeing how a meeting with Sagan was the reason he went into astrophysics he really is the proper man for the narrating job. If brian Cox could make a cameo somewhere in there, that would just be science geek orgasm.

Completely agree, that description sounds god-aweful

And all atheists know lots about science, and are always right, right?

Seth mcfarlen seems like an idiot, I can't imagine this being good...

Of course we're always right! And above all, when we step in, thanks to our superior reasoning skills, we're bastions of tolerance!

Because, you know: When Christians complain about mosques being built in Manhattan, it's religious fundamentalism; when atheists complain about crosses being cherished in the debris of a collapsed building, it's just the voice of reason enlightening the superstitious minds of the world.

Of course not, I saw this coming when I posted it but couldn't be arsed to go back and explain it. What I mean is that it won't turn into a pseudoscientific god-thumping show like Through the Wormhole because all the people involved don't have any intention to go that way.

And atheists do know more about science than the average population. :P

Ever since they came up with those horrible billboards that said "You KNOW it's a MYTH" and David Silverman came up on Bill O'Reilly's show saying that churches are filled with closeted atheists, it became quite clear that American Atheists are real fucking idiots. They are only reinforcing people's prejudices against atheists instead of changing them.
