Could you highlight what part you are referring to? I for one am not inclined to sit through 80 minutes of something that can be summed up as truth is false.

if you press play it fast forwards to the part.

It doesn't for me.

EDIT: and there's nothing in the page source that would suggest a timestamp

Mr. Tyson's words are puzzling. First of all because he acknowledges that science is in fact a branch of philosophy. Secondly because he doesn't bother to define what philosophy means. Which is really important if you think a phrase like "religious philosophy," which he says, makes any sense.

 

Philosophy is method to test the truth value of an objective claim. I cannot imagine a set of circumstances that would make it valueless to humankind.

Judging by the discussion leading up to it, it's the practice of apologetics looking for loopholes and interpretations to justify continued belief that he's denouncing.

How do you test truth values about the physical world or maths with philosophy?
