I'm curious why the title is calling him "Reverend"!

I found that a little weird myself, black man behind lectern =/=> preacher. I had to check wikipedia, but he is apparently non-religious in any aspect, so I see no grounds for such a label, unless the poster wants to claim to revere him, which seems a reasonable enough position.

Rev. is a particularly problematic title, as it requires no qualifications, and has no discrete meaning. I won't even call preachers Rev.

@winkler - the man posing the question, if that's what you're asking is Dr. Neil Tyson. He's an astrophysicist who's relatively new to me (that is to say, I've just seen him recently on Colbert and some Nova specials, but he's apparently been famous - within certain circles - for a while) and who is, IMHO, really cool.

Also, I love him more now that he's verbalized one of my major problems with Dawkins - that his often brilliant commentary would be much more well-received if it were only combined with an ounce of - what to call it? Empathy, maybe.
