Neil DeGrasse Tyson, historical inaccuracy

I agree so he did not need to bring up religion and religious beliefs.

Well, creationism is generally not accepted in the scientific community in general because the very premise by which it is presented is not scientifically sound.  Creationism and intelligent design are virtually the ONLY two theories by which you can reverse the scientific process in order to "prove" the theory.  If you were to use scientific theory correctly, the idea of intelligent design is inconclusive because there isn't enough proof to support it.  Unlike the theory of gravity--where plenty of proof or evidence does exist for it. 

While this list is almost 10 years old, it shows that most organizations do not accept creationism as science.  https://www.aclu.org/religion-belief/what-scientific-community-says-about-evolution-and-intelligent-design

 Internationally, it is simply not accepted in the scientific organizations of most countries.  So the non-acceptance of creationism/intelligent-design is not necessarily Europe-oriented, even though the history may be.  

I also would want clarification on what he meant by Egyptian and European studies of the stars.  Are we talking about actual knowledge of balls of gas, debris and light--> stars or astrology.  What exactly is the knowledge he is referring to and in what context was he shaping the discussion?  I have not watched the show, so I have no idea.
