Michael Rich (now at UCLA).

No. These are the A-holes:

Curriculum Vitae | Neil deGrasse Tyson

PhD is the abbreviation for "Philosophiae Doctor" (Doctor of Philosophy) - see any latin dictionary for this translation.

Now, follow me very closely here, this is where it gets tricky - Tyson has his Philosophiae Doctor degree in Astrophysics.

I know this is very complicated, but I'm sure if you cogitate on it for a few hours, you may begin to dimly see the progression here.

BTW, thanks for giving so many people the opportunity to reiterate Dr. Tyson's credentials. And the weakness of yours.
My bad, I was confusing Doctorate with Phd, good job Googling that for me.

Here's where I went wrong:

Yeah, as if I believed for a minute that you knew what you were talking about. I mixed up Doctor and PhD.

BTW, if you had any experience in higher ed yourself, you would know that scientists do not undergrad in the arts.

The 90's called and want's their jokes back. We have been hearing anti Christian jokes on the internet since the days of dial up. Why is this even a story?

Does this mean you will stop bashing Tyson's qualifications?

Whatever you say Mr. Joshua. You've discredited yourself to such a point where no one will take you seriously anymore (if they ever did). One who would argue that Tyson does not have a doctorate despite facts being presented is just a liar or is simply uneducated, ignorant (take your pick).
