Director of the Hayden Planetarium and StarTalk Radio host Neil deGrasse Tyson recently appeared on “The Nightly Show” with Larry Wilmore for a discussion with Pastor Carl Lentz about god and intelligent design.

“I think of, like, the human body, and I look at what’s going on between our legs,” Tyson said. “There’s like a sewage system and entertainment complex intermingling. No engineer of any intelligence would have designed it that way.”

So the way input/output in a forward-moving body works, how would Tyson have designed it?

Astrophysicist Tyson not only isn’t a biologist; what’s much more relevant these days is that he isn’t much of an engineer. He is used to thinking about the problems as if they had no real world components.
