National Geographic's new series, Cosmos: A Space Odyssey, is picking up pace. It is even said that the series is now called as the largest global rollout of a TV series ever.

The show aired on 220 channels in 181 countries and in 45 different languages seems to be not going well with some creationists. They are of the view that the show does not offer balance as it does not provide equal airtime to religious fundamentalists.

Danny Faulkner from Answers in Genesis, creationist group, said creationists should get time on the new show. It seems that Neil deGrasse Tyson was aware that such a thing can take place. Therefore, he had already talked on the topic more than one time.

"You don't talk about the spherical Earth with NASA, and then say let's give equal time to the flat Earthers, the good thing about science is that it's true", said Tyson, who further said that science will remain true despite one believe it or not.

He has even addressed the topic on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers'. He said that those who do not know science in this time of advancement then it would be best to move back to caves.

It is even said that the show may lead to backfire effect among creationists. Creationists have been demanding an airtime on FOX. It is considered that if creationists are provided with strongest evidences to provide scientific theories then these creationists will experience the backfire effect.

The effect shows how some people's belief gets stronger and deeper when their confidence in certain thing is challenged by contradictory facts. The backfire term was coined by political scientists Brendan Nyhan of Dartmouth University and Jason Reifler from the University of Exeter, United Kingdom.
