Astrophysicist and "science communicator" Neil deGrasse Tyson is one of these scientists whom the mainstream media love to trot out when they want to lecture people of faith about the universe. His appearances have earned him fame from the Left, which has given him appearances in the the media. He's been seen hosting television specials like Cosmos and was even given a boring cameo in the feature film Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice.

His latest foray into "science" is to lecture Americans about the origins of cows. According to Tyson, humans invented the four-legged beasts to turn grass into meat.

Don’t believe it? Check out this tweet:

A cow is a biological machine invented by humans to turn grass into steak. — Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) August 7, 2017

Daily Wire editor-in-chief Ben Shapiro was quick to pounce.

We invented the cow? Go us! https://t.co/q35h1RjWJV — Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) August 7, 2017

A hilarious Twitter storm soon followed.

If @realDonaldTrump said something this ridiculous, the press would stop reporting on Russia for 3 days to talk about his ignorance.... — Carl Owens (@HawtCrawl) August 8, 2017

If humans invented cows to turn grass into steak, it may have been one of the greatest creations that mankind has put on the face of the earth.

Now, if only there were a creature that did that for bacon...
