I usually see Dr. Tyson talking about stars and planets, and not the way a fortune teller would.

He's absolutely right. Religious myths* have no place in the classroom of a public school. Creation science is an oxymoron, although I have nothing against the story of creation as a religious myth.

*No denigration is intended by the word myth. A myth is a story intended to point to a higher truth which many people believe. That is the greatest compliment one can give a story.
