      While I love @neiltyson - some of these answers are just a little too dogmatic to be truthful.http://www.vox.com/conversations/2017/3/25/14986946/9-questions-neil-degrasse-tyson-science-national-review …

      Hope & Prayer are tacit admissions you’re not in control of uncertain outcomes. Simply not an emotion I carry.

          But you aren't in control of many outcomes. w/o religion there's still a lot of people & it's not crazy to hope they do good.

          But I guess all you can control is yourself, so learn and do whatever you can to be confident in what you can control

          me too I feel that way but it is because I KNOW WHO IS IN CONTROL, and HE LOVES ME. It is personal (PERSON TO PERSON)

          with the cosmic perspective, it is shockingly arrogant to even hope to be in control of everything.

          but in such a vast universe, how can you even expect to be in control? Look at the asteroid Apophis situation

          We are NEVER in control of uncertain outcomes, by definition!Control is an illusion. And if you don't feel hope, that's worrying!

          We ARE very much in control of many uncertain outcomes!! And, "hope"??? Maybe that requires a definition.

          Nonsense. Clearly if one is in control of a process, its outcome is not uncertain! Hope has a definition already.

          "admissions you’re not in control of uncertain outcomes" is not an emotion - it's a sign of sanity.
