Neil deGrasse Tyson is worshipping aliens again because of science. Whenever he brings up aliens—for whose existence there is no scientific evidence—the celebrity astrophysicist and messiah to fanboy Redditors always suggests that they don’t share the same flaws as his own species. Aliens must be perfect because of science. Alien culture will undoubtedly be monolithic because of science.
If I were ever abducted by aliens, the first thing I’d ask is whether they came from a planet where people also deny science.

.@allahpundit It is now impossible to tell @neiltyson tweets from the various parody account tweets.

Because he thinks it’s a clever way to say he’s smarter than you.

.@neiltyson As to your question, the aliens would say, "This word denier…I do not think it means what you think it means."

.@neiltyson and if they were from mars or venus, you might want to take a pass on any "carbon offset" discussion

They'd probably think "What a schmo", just like we do here on earth. @neiltyson

.@neiltyson Then the aliens would fry your brain with an energy beam, eject your carcass into the inky void, and never visit Earth again.

If I were ever abducted by aliens I would ask them if their species had obnoxious gasbags like @neiltyson

@DrewMTips @neiltyson What if the aliens showed how some of what's considered settled science was wrong? You admit that's possible, right?

@exjon Also odd that Captain Science presumes aliens speak English. #Xenophobia

Hey, aliens are beings of perfect science. They would have universal translators. They would probably also have universal insufferable douchebag detectors which would negate the possibility of Tyson ever being abducted … unless they abducted him ironically.
.@neiltyson The economy sucks after years of performing the same experiments on it. Aliens will ask why you denied science.

Andy Levy would ask something else.

If @neiltyson were abducted by aliens my first thought would be thank God..
