More on Neil Tyson...

I knew a fair bit of Dawkins's view due to his books + fame. I found Neil deGrasse Tyson's arguments very interesting too most of which he had written in his article titled "The perimeter of ignorance". A web-search should throw up this article.

He was arguing with multiple examples that people tend to invoke God right at the limits of their understanding. When the boundary of their understanding gets extended, they stop invoking God for those things, but instead invoke him for the updated list of things that they do not understand.
