Unlike science, creationism cannot predict anything, and it cannot provide satisfactory answers about the past.

Recommending or insisting on abstinence has been completely ineffective.

The oncoming trouble I speak of is climate change. It's going to affect all of you in the same way the Second World War consumed people of my parent's generation.

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.

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.

From an evolutionary standpoint you can't just wipe everything out and start over, and I don't think you can do it in the school system either.

Science is the key to our future, and if you don't believe in science, then you're holding everybody back.

Talk about science with everyone you meet. Especially talk about climate change. It needs to become a part of our everyday conversation (the way it is everywhere else in the world).

Humor is everywhere in that there's irony in just about anything a human does.

The theory of evolution was not formally published until shortly before Faraday's death. Evolution was yet to be discovered during Faraday's life. Also, I don't think that Michael Faraday would claim that the Earth is extraordinarily young.

I don't perceive an anti-religious agenda, especially with regard to Christians and Christianity. The issue being debated was creationism, the idea that the Earth is 6,000 years old. As I understand it, this involves the Bible's Old Testament exclusively.
Bill Nye
Image
Religion is a completely different thing from the claim that the Earth is six thousand years old. That's just crazy.
Bill Nye

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.

We need them. We need scientifically literate voters and taxpayers for the future.

If you meet somebody who says he or she has never dreamed of flying, I don't believe you. I mean, they're lying.

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...

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.

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
Image
People get a lot out of being religious. They have strong senses of community and mutual support. So, what's not to love [there]?

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

I meet so many people who are intimidated by arithmetic.
