Norm Macdonald responding to Neil Degrasse Tyson on twitter.

Neil: The Universe is blind to our sorrows and indifferent to our pains. Have a nice day!

Norm: Neil, there is a logic flaw in your little aphorism that seems quite telling. Since you and I are part of the Universe, then we would also be indifferent and uncaring. Perhaps you forgot, Neil, that we are not superior to the Universe but merely a fraction of it. Nice day, indeed




Norm was a man of faith, so I could see how Neil's comment could rub him the wrong way.
