2. They can discuss if

NDT is really an atheist or not.

Just kidding, I'll be watching.

3. a bit disappointing

I guess I thought that Dyson would show the entire Dawkins interview, but that's not the format Star Talk TV is using.

Dyson brings on two guests and they discuss snips of the actual interview.

In this case, there was a Jesuit priest and a comic with Dyson, and the priest just made one nebulous, all encompassing comment after another, in most cases irrefutable.

Example: Dyson says that the universe does not really have to be fully understood. And so of course the priest comes back with, "And God does not have to be fully understood" of something like that. Bullshit.

Dyson definitely comes off as a freethinker, but I wanted to see the whole Dawkins interview. I guess the only way to hear it would be to listen to the podcast.

4. It was a lame apologist crap fest.

Tyson acted like an impressionable teenager in the talk with the (silent) comedian and the priest.
