Neil deGrasse Tyson on "Intelligent Design" at Beyond Belief This clip picks up where the one I'm responding to ("Gods retreat from cosmology") leaves off -- it is advisable that you watch that clip first. Both clips are from Neil deGrasse Tyson's presentation titled "The Perimeter of Ignorance" at Beyond Belief 2006. Among other things, Tyson asserts that the religiosity of some of history's greatest scientists and their willingness to invoke the philosophy of intelligent design limited the scope of their inquiry into the natural world, to the detriment of scientific progress in general.

Neil degrasse Tyson Are We Alone http://www.myspace.com/acorvettes In the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), researchers differentiate between advanced and non-advanced civilizations. An advanced civilization is defined as one with the ability to conduct interstellar communication — to send electromagnetic signals through space. Using this definition, human civilization only became advanced within the past century, when local communication such as radio and television broadcasts began to be transmitted to interstellar space.

Neil degrasse Tyson Ingredients for Life: Water http://www.myspace.com/acorvettes Since the 1970s, a number of unusual organisms have been discovered in environments that are hostile to other living things. These organisms, called extremophiles because of their ability to survive at the extremes of typically hospitable conditions, thrive where other life would perish. For example, microbial life has been found deep underground in tiny spaces within rocks, in the frozen environment of Antarctica, in the searing hot waters of deep sea vents and hot springs, and in the harsh environments of dry deserts. Life has also been found in extreme conditions of high radiation, pressure, acidity, alkalinity, or salinity. With the discovery of such organisms, some scientists have broadened their definition of what a habitable environment might be to include a greater range of potential environments for extraterrestrial life.
