All interesting stuff, and A+ to bilbical and ancient scholars for effortful interpretation and exposition of such interesting historical religious items, characters and legends.
But viewers, know that a good solid undergraduate and especially graduate and/or professional school education, in STEM, logic, philosophy, natural history, psychology, critical thinking, analytical reading, etc., will arm you with the tools to determine reality.
Such an education gives you the understanding to realize that whatever time spent examining such religions or religious artifacts, whether it be from deep hunter-gatherer times 50,000 years ago, or the Axial Age (the Jewish Bible, the New Testament, the Quran), or the wild West of the USA (Book of Mormon), is just that -- a mental exercise.
There is no evidence of God, Satan, demons, devils, spirits, ghosts, spectres, saints, souls or afterlife.
Still, such man-made religious practices, creeds, items, relics, ancient tomes, etc., are nothing but comic bookery and tomfoolery but may yet have some application to the understanding of what many millions and billions(!) of "the faithful" believe today.
Faith is believing on no evidence.

Abrahamic religionists (Jews, Muslims, Catholics, Christians, Mormons, and others) are victims.
The events, characters, concepts and precepts of old or ancient outdated Abrahamic religion (Jewish Bible, the New Testament, the Quran, Book of Mormon) are not only expressly unscientific but patently preposterous and absurd!
All victims of religion.

The answer is no.
There is no evidence of God, Satan, saints, demons, angels, devils, ghosts, spectres, heaven, hell, souls or afterlife.
If you read old or ancient proprietary tribalist foundational tomes such as the Jewish Bible, the New Testament, the Quran, or the Book of Mormon ... I mean really read what is in there and what is said(!), you will realize these man-written books are the best evidence that there is no God.
In truth each are political manifestos making claims with no evidence. Each Abrahamic religion was founded via violence and killing.
But understand celebrities in the public eye, or academicians paid via public-funding are often forced to straddle the truth or wax agnostic at the worst. Political correctness in a form.

The humanities are being subsumed by the scientific method as each day passes.
Scientists acccept or reject on evidence, whereas the Abrahamic religionist believes on faith without evidence.
Science: observation, data collection, theory, experiment, empirical reasoning, statistical analysis, conclusion with consensus, confirmation, revisitation, and retesting.
Religion: ancient tomes, dogma, scripture, personal revelation, authority, obedience, ritual, emotion, threat, and FEAR.
Science: what is.
Abrahamic religion: what ought to be.

Paul was dismayed by the horrifically violent and/or ignoble deaths of Jesus' original apostles and deaths of believers at his churches.
No resurrection, no God's Kingdom come AS WAS PROMISED.
So Paul warmed up his quill and stack of papyrus and changed up his writing from a spiritual revival of Jesus, which wasn't cutting it.
He came up with a whopper! That there was a PHYSICAL resurrection of Jesus. That, yes. there will be no God's kingdom in Earth. Now it's “celestial(!)”.
And, uh ... well... "it's gonna happen any day now! Just you wait and see."
Post-failed apocalypticism apocalypticism.
Paul was one of history's greatest confidence men, an expert at written flimflammery. Words are powerful. Sadly.
This was the first instance of "shtick" the manufacture of miracles, apparitions, visions, exorcisms, prayers answered, etc, to convince people there existed a benevolent interactive communicative Being with supernatural powers.
The Vatican offices of today continue this hype.
Today, neurocognitive scientists and critical care physicians know that dead is dead. There is life before death, not after death. Death, a part of life, is final.
There is no evidence of resurrection, souls, afterlife, God, Allah, the God of Mormon, heaven, Hell, Satan, saints, angels, demons, devils, ghosts, spectres or spirits.
Now go sleep peacefully tonight.

Every children's story has embellishments and trickeration.
The Abrahamic (Judaism, Catholicism, Christianity, Islam, Mormonism) all utilize "shtick" -- costumes, bells, music, incense, holy water, processions, blessings, etc., as theatrical play to wow the kids in attendance.
The Vatican maintains special offices and staff to declare sainthood and miracles as they know making holy hullabaloo for even a single instance ("certification" of a miracle) goes a long way to hoodwink the credulous.

Tyson is clever to deflect the question about his certain atheism. But like celebrities, taxpayer-funded academicians and others in the public eye, they will fall back on agnosticism so as not to offend believers.
There is no evidence of God, Satan, heaven, hell, angels, saints, ghosts, spectres, devils, demons, spirits, souls, or afterlife.
Absence of evidence is good evidence of absence.
Also, all one has to do is, read through the Jewish Bible, the New Testament, the Quran or the Book of Mormon to see the pre-science absurdities and preposterousness in such contrived proprietary foundational tribalist books. They were political manifestos to build a moral fabric, establish trust to trade and make claims on real estate, back when life was brutal, nasty and short and nights were long, dark and scary.

You still need the hurricane tie-downs for your roof gables. And most importantly, auger ground anchors to prevent catastrophic foundation movement/damage. We talked about that before.
I'd add that 1/4" hardware cloth stapled to your foundation floor joists to keep gnawing critters out.
Just last week Eye kidded here about "Ray's bear fort" system and the nutty idea of a periscope up top the outhouse to espy critters. I now retract that joke and re-issue my bear warnings.
I still think you should devise the patented "Kyle Off-grid survival tool belt."
That is, one that has a holster for your large-bore hammer, a pocket for a large can of bear spray, perhaps ammo pouch, a loud police whistle, and some noise-making firecrackers. I'd add a few slots for roman candles for which to pepper the bear with missile incoming. And a sheath for a Bowie knife. And posts for spare toilet paper rolls (never get caught without). One loop for an ice cold 12oz.
The Great Eye of Ray ... sees ... ALL.
A Great Eye in the sky, lidless, wreathed in flame ... always watching. Its gaze pierces cloud, shadow, and earth ... even flesh.

Of all groups in the world the most highly accomplished scientists are also the group with the highest incidence of atheism.
Intelligence, curiosity, **education**, critical free-thinking, empiricism and analysis.
Niel here, by avoiding labels is merely being politically correct. Also as a scientist, his institution and research is funded by the public which often times has governmental (with conservative and even fundamentalist) taxpayer support, so he is forced to be an accommodationist.
To deflect criticism he overemphasizes militant atheism as if all atheists are militant which they are not, so this is clever cover up.
He punts on the fact that religion (personal revelation, scripture, dogma, faith) cannot determine truth whereas science (observation, theory, experiment, analysis, conclusion, consensus) is the only way to determine truth.
He knows that religion derives from an ancient hunter-gatherer community bio-evolutionary survival mechanism and that religionists are indoctrinated from an early age when they're neurocognition is most susceptible to regimentation. Add religious ritual and tradition and this results in a firm often lifelong intense emotional attachment to religion. So when a scientist presents rationality, reason and the truth -- that there is no evidence of God or the afterlife -- people can't handle the truth.
People...can't handle...the truth.

Great trim work and butcher block build.
"hah-la-payn-yos"
Was gonna say your pails and garden needed watering then you made it rain.
Yeah, some soluble fertilizer for your pails. Please build out those compost piles now to add layers of leafy "greens" alternate with dead "browns" (leaves). Utilize pulled weeds(!), throw in chicken manure in between. No branches, twigs, dry stems or weeds with seed heads. Keep moist, turn over weekly with hay fork. Never add fresh manure to growing plants, compost first till matured, or work into beds in Fall AFTER crops spent and removed.
You can sauté lettuce and kale, etc., or all that is great in Chinese wok cooking. Your lettuce has "bolted", you'll find milky sap in stems, with a bitter taste. Time to pull out, chop up and add to compost pile.
Yeah, your onions need water #1, and next year your finished compost will help for organic matter, and water-holding properties. Some granular 10-10-10 will help very much, dug in.
Yes, tomatoes should be "staked" and "tied up" and pruned carefully early on.
Great fence, I didn't see animal damage though looks like some light insect damage, you can buy "insecticidal soap'' in hand spray bottles, cheap, very safe chemically.

The Abrahamic religions' proprietary foundational tomes -- the Jewish Bible, the New Testament, the Quran, the Book of Mormon -- are entirely man-concocted desperate attempts to fashion a moral fabric, enable trust to trade, publish a political manifesto, or make claim to real estate.
What a tragically confused fractious mess accompanied by abject intolerance and violence.
The result of this man-made shambles are the 4000+ global major and minor religions, cults, sects, and denominations of today, all certain that their religion and theirs alone is the one true religion and many willing to kill for it.
