Default Neil DeGrasse Tyson headed down same loony road as Carl Sagan?

The more contemporaries make fools of themselves, the more I appreciate the old societies and their understanding of the cycles of the moon, planets and stars.

The oldest astronomical interpretation is also one of the most important as it shows why the moon is lost to the glare of the Sun for a number of days each month such as the 5200 year old Knowth calendar stone in the Boyne Valley -

The seasonal cycle where stars come into view after a period lost to the Sun's glare is lost to celestial sphere enthusiasts who disregard the foundations of the calendar cycle, its annual marker and why the first appearance of a star represents a close approximation of rotations to an orbital circuit. The same desert people mocked here give an ungrateful society today the foundations of human timekeeping -

" Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?. Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?"

Can any of you make sense of the motion of Venus when it too is lost to the glare of the Sun as it travels in two different directions over its orbit ? -

There are no theories/theorems here, just the greatness of humanity mirroring the greatness of creation. People who can't manage to connect the individual to the Universal via physical interpretations are prohibited from the inspirational medium between person and God however that individual experiences something greater than themselves.

The more ancient societies are mocked or ignored the more people show desperation in themselves that they sold out for nothing other than pseudo-intellectual tinsel. Nobody curses you - you curse yourselves.
