I believe that Tyson is correct

he makes the error of imagining that...

Choose one.

What I see is that all machines break, this includes all computers that either break or get old and outdated. 

I see an internet which started with some  "first" computer.
That computer is no longer here.
But the internet is.

It's interesting that your theology depends on not knowing about hot-swappable  disk drives and RAID arrays.

You are making the same mistake as Tyson by trying to reconcile technology that we will have in another billion years that God already had billions of years ago with the feeble wired systems of today.

LOL do you really think God makes use of junk made in a chinese sweat shop. Really he invented his own.

OKEEDOKEE

[Bored chemist]

You are making the same mistake

No
I am pointing out that even today's technology does not suffer from the problem you think it does.

As I said, it seems part of the problem here is your reading comprehension.

LOL none of the first storage systems are even viable anymore.  So it is you who seems unaware, the fact is that todays technology is tomorrows junk, it must be reinvented and recycled.  God drops off his computers and they reproduce and with every generation get better, until they go looking for God in the heavens, and when they find him their is a big family reunion, of sorts.

LOL still viable right?

Do you need a time out?

[Bored chemist]

LOL none of the first storage systems are even viable anymore. 

And yet the internet carries on.
Because, unlike you, the people who built it were clever enough to understand how you can maintain a system while replacing every bit of that system.
Don't feel too bad, you are in good company.
Trigger didn't understand it either.

Let me know when the first self aware computer that can mate and improve itself is invented?

Nope you can't do that can you, because God already did that.

PS. Bye the way, the internet is about to be quantum entangled which will mean that the search result will always be present from anywhere on Earth or beyond before your finger leaves the enter key as the answer was actually there before you ask.

RAID whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Don't be silly, that was evolution- or the flying spaghetti monster; take your pick..

Not according to modern physics that now claims that the universe and everything in it was created.

You may call your Mom if you need

Nope.
Though, by that same physics- it is entirely possible, indeed, very likely, that other intelligent life evolved before we did.

Including Darwin's magical pond

According to Tyson

You may have missed this, but he isn't God.
Tyson may be mistaken- in fact, you say he is.

So you can not rely on his views to support anything, can you?

I accept that I am the product of a molecular computer code called DNA

Are you sure that you are not a simulation of that DNA which has been programmed to think DNA is real?

Yes, ....

You think that you are real DNA.
He apparently  thinks you are simulated DNA.
Only one of you could be right.

You could, of course, both be wrong- which is more likely.

There is no 50 percent chance, as the truth is always 100 percent true whether it is known or not. 

How do you know that your version of God is 100 percent true?

[hamdani yusuf]

Do you believe that there is a 50 percent chance that Tyson is right, and if so how do you calculate this? or are you just believing what you see and hear

The 50% Tyson was talking about comes from two possible states regarding the simulation. First is that we are living in the real world. The other is that we are living in the last simulation in the making.

According to information theory, 1 bit of information reduces the uncertainty by a half. If there's no other information is available, that 50% is where we're left at.

His theory has no evidence to support it at all, my DNA is however real.  LOL this clown thought that he had a book deal in the making with this nonsense, but people laughed just too hard, which is why he ended up on the Larry King show

Of course you don't know. There's too much uncertainty involved. There are many gods believed by humans alone. It's even possible that other hominids had their own version of gods.

What do Gods have to do with the truth?  Are you saying that people create the truth in their minds?

God is a scientific necessity, which is why Tyson is claiming that God created the universe.

Can we scientifically predict God's behavior?
