===Fabrication of a George W. Bush quote===

Tyson has been repeatedly accused of fabricating quotes that he uses in his presentations.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://thefederalist.com/2014/09/16/another-day-another-quote-fabricated-by-neil-degrasse-tyson/|title=Another Day, Another Quote Fabricated By Neil deGrasse Tyson|last1=Davis|first1=Sean|date=September 16, 2014|website=thefederalist.com|publisher=The Federalist|accessdate=September 16, 2014}}</ref> The most damning accusation is that he fabricated a quote that he attributes to President George W. Bush. Tyson claims that Bush said, "Our God is the God who named the stars" in the week shortly after 9/11 as a way of separating Christians and Jews from radical Muslims.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_jG5kKfacY#t=33|title=Neil deGrasse Tyson: George Bush and Star Names|last1=Tyson|first1=Neil|date=Unknown|website=YouTube.com|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=September 16, 2014}}</ref> However, there is zero evidence that George W. Bush never uttered that phrase.
