If the Earth gets hit by an asteroid, it's game over. It's control-alt-delete for civilization.
Bill Nye
Image
Bicycling is a big part of the future. It has to be. There's something wrong with a society that drives a car to work out in a gym.
Bill Nye
Image
I've always loved airplanes and flight. The space program was really important to me as a kid. I still have a photo of Armstrong and Aldrin on the moon in my living room.
Bill Nye
Image
The world's going to change climatically. We just want to control the change. We want to have a high quality of life for billions of people as we pass through this era.
Bill Nye
Image
To leave the world better than you found it, sometimes you have to pick up other people's trash.
Bill Nye

What happens to other species also happens to us.
Bill Nye

I tell personal stories associated with aspects of the theory, and I hope they are interesting and compelling. I don't feel you're going to change a grownup's mind in one reading. People have to be exposed to scientific ideas over and over again for years. It's also not a textbook.

The strange thing about grinding that might surprise many people is that you can grind things and shape them using materials that are generally somewhat softer than the thing you're grinding and shaping.
Bill Nye
Image
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
Image
The Earth is not 6,000 or 10,000 years old. It's not. And if that conflicts with your beliefs, I strongly feel you should question your beliefs.
Bill Nye
Image
I meet so many people who are intimidated by arithmetic.
Bill Nye
Image
Unlike science, creationism cannot predict anything, and it cannot provide satisfactory answers about the past.
Bill Nye
Image
The thing about a theory in science is it allows you make predictions. Evolutionary theory allows us to predict what apples will taste good next harvest.
Bill Nye
Image
Winter lingered so long in the lap of Spring that it occasioned a great deal of talk.
Bill Nye
Image
Evolution is not something you can believe in or not believe in like do you believe in gravity.
Bill Nye
Image
Not wasting any water bottles is good. Not leaving the lights on is good. Turning the thermostat down in the winter, up in the summer, is good. But the best thing any of us in the developed world, especially in the United States, can be doing is talking about it.
Bill Nye

If we raise a generation of students who dont believe in the process of science, who think everything that weve come to know about nature and the universe can be dismissed by a few sentences translated into English from some ancient text, youre not going to continue to innovate.
Bill Nye
Image
I've got no problem with anybody's religion. But if you go claiming the Earth is only 10,000 years old, that's just wrong.
Bill Nye
Image
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.

I speak with dogs frequently. They don't really talk, but I feel they're communicating.
