Hard to find anything lovelier than a tree. They grow at right angles to a tangent of the nominal sphere of the Earth.

There are two ways to be rich: to have more or need less. It's estimated that we squander about 30 percent of our energy leaving the lights on, the refrigerator door open, and so on. Then there is the enormous amount of food that we expend huge amounts of energy to raise and then throw away.

When or if answers are found, you can be assured those answers will lead to more questions. Is the troubling or wonderful? It depends on your view of your place in nature, your place among the stars I suppose.
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

Evolution is one of the most powerful and important ideas ever developed in the history of science. Every question it raises leads to new answers, new discoveries, and new smarter questions. The science of evolution is as expansive as nature itself. It is also the most meaningful creation story that humans have ever found.

Climate change is happening, humans are causing it, and I think this is perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us.

If you look back on all the teachers that you liked, I am sure you will find they were very entertaining.

The debate [in Undeniable] was nominally about creationism as a viable explanation for what we observe around us. For my side, the debate went very well I'm not sure what I would change, although I can imagine shortening my answers during the rebuttals, perhaps.

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.

Winter lingered so long in the lap of Spring that it occasioned a great deal of talk.

One of the drawbacks of English is you can't spell things by hearing them.
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

Religion is a completely different thing from the claim that the Earth is six thousand years old. That's just crazy.

By the way, most of the light that comes from the sun is green.

If you memorize the periodic table it will speed you up if you're a chemist, but by and large, the reason you have a periodic table is so that you can store that information outside of your body. That way it frees up some part of your brain to do something else...

There is no debate in the scientific community...We need [Congress] to change things, not to deny what's happening.

If the Earth gets hit by an asteroid, it's game over. It's control-alt-delete for civilization.

My father was a very good Boy Scout. He was very skilled with knots, and he showed me how to tie a bow tie.

If you decide to become a dancer on Broadway, never say who your favorite dance partner is, because members of the media will presume you never want to dance with anybody else.

I say to the grownups, if you want to deny evolution and live in your world, that's completely inconsistent with the world we observe, that's fine. But don't make your kids do it. Because we need them. We need scientifically literate voters and taxpayers for the future. We need engineers that can build stuff and solve problems.
