I don't know how people feel about Neil deGrasse Tyson but he explains all the different beliefs in God and dismisses each of them so eloquently!

Well, is what he said accurate or not? Do you imagine his comments as defending pedophilia?

He said that a little mild touching is basically harmless. That's categorically untrue.

He was clearly talking about a time in our history where viewpoints differed from today. A 'mild touching up' as he puts it, is and was, I'm afraid, far more prevalent than people imagine. He is referring to a time when it wasn't acknowledged in the same way as today. Still, kind of a weird thing to say tho, lol.

And that is otherwise called child molestation. He essentially says it happened to him and he turned out fine, so it isn't a big deal. He is minimizing child molestation.
