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.

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.

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

Evolution is not something you can believe in or not believe in like do you believe in gravity.
Bill Nye
Image
The future of commerce is going to be all electronic. The gold standard was a fine idea, but electronic changes of funds and credits will be the future.

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

Recommending or insisting on abstinence has been completely ineffective.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

One of the drawbacks of English is you can't spell things by hearing them.
Bill Nye
Image
Science is the best thing humans beings have ever come up with. And if it isn't, science will fix it.
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

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

The natural world is a package deal you don't get to select which facts you like and which you don't.

The more you find out about the world, the more opportunities there are to laugh at it.
