Unfortunately, he is preaching to the choir, those who are convinced of ID will not be budged from it by any sort of reason.

“Entertainment playground in the middle of a sewage system.” That’s just hysterical :)

“An entertainment complex in the middle of a sewage system. NO engineer would design that at all.”

Classic, I love deGrasse Tyson.

It’s not original with deGrasse Tyson, the line appeared in Forgetting Sarah Marshall (with playground), and I heard before that from some standup (Robin Williams?). Props to him for using it though.
