More quotes by Bill Nye
I meet so many people who are intimidated by arithmetic.
Bill Nye
I understand that you take the Bible, as written in English, translated many many times over the last three millennia as to be a more accurate, more reasonable assessment of the natural laws we see around us than what I and everybody in here can observe. That, to me, is unsettling.
Bill Nye
Intuitively you want some place [such as your phone] to store phone numbers, so you have that part of your brain to do other tasks.
Bill Nye
Teaching creationism in science class as an alternative to evolution is inappropriate.
Bill Nye
That's what makes a human a human, if we store information outside our bodies.
Bill Nye
I'll admit that the discovery of evolution is humbling, but it is also empowering. It transforms our relationship to the life around us. Instead of being outsiders watching the natural world go by, we are insiders. We are part of the process we are the exquisite result of billions of years of natural research and development.
Bill Nye
Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't.
Bill Nye
I feel that I've often pointed out that there are countless aspects of life and nature that scientists and scientific thinkers cannot explain. Why the universe is accelerating in its expansion and what came before the Big Bang serve as compelling examples. The process of science provides a way to seek answers to those questions.
Bill Nye
Incidentally, the creationists that I've encountered diligently deny that our Earth's climate is being altered by people. This point of view and teaching is in absolutely no one's best interest. Here's hoping we can work together and preserve the Earth, for us - us humans.
Bill Nye
It is my mission to change the world. I'm not kidding: Make no small plans, dream mighty things. I feel if we get enough people engaged in climate change, we will get enough people to change the world. We will revolutionize the way we produce electricity and provide clean water to people.
Bill Nye
I try to speak plainly and be sympathetic to the idea of religions where people gather in community. They get a sense of people looking out for each other. My claim is that we have a tendency to look out for each other whether or not there is a religion involved.
Bill Nye
America has had many other discoverers besides Columbus, but he seems to have made more satisfactory arrangements with the historians than any of the others.
Bill Nye
Winter lingered so long in the lap of Spring that it occasioned a great deal of talk.
Bill Nye
The meaning of life is pretty clear: Living things strive to pass their genes into the future. The claim that we would not have morals or ethics without religion is extraordinary. Animals in nature seem to behave in moral ways without organized religion.
Bill Nye
The US Navy has several people on every ship that can navigate by the stars. They don't fool with that.
Bill Nye
By the way, most of the light that comes from the sun is green.
Bill Nye
I stand by my assertions that although you can know what happens to any individual species that you modify, you cannot be certain what will happen to the ecosystem. Also, we have a strange situation where we have malnourished fat people. It's not that we need more food. It's that we need to manage our food system better.
Bill Nye
Science provides a much more satisfactory way to seek answers than does any religion.
Bill Nye
I speak with dogs frequently. They don't really talk, but I feel they're communicating.
Bill Nye
Promoting a religious agenda that is to apply to every citizen is inconsistent with our laws in the US. It seems to me that your community and mine can live and work together without conflict.
Bill Nye
