Ironically, the network responsible for this series is none other than Fox itself.
​
The owners of Fox are more into making money than they are into pleasing the morons that watch Fox News.
​
Remember the producer of the new Cosmos is Seth MacFarlane, who created Family Guy and is also on Fox. Who makes a TON of money for Fox. So I'd say the creos can complain all they want, Fox sees dollar signs on this show and/or doesn't want to piss off their biggest cash cow.

Re: Inner Fish
I thought that it was peculiar that they would say that the fact that mammals were processing so much information caused their brains to grow.
​
Is that right? If I do lots of calculus will my children have bigger brains?
​
I think our brains have already evolved to perform calculus. Maybe if they did higher levels of computing or processing they might? I don't know.

Re: NCSE comments
In general where there was nobody to observe there isn't any way of having real knowledge about claims involving that period, it all remains theory, guesswork, fantasy.
​
It's even a wonder how murders get solved with all those theories and fantasies and guesswork about the unobserved death of a person, eh?
