Quote

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.

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

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 have this idea that the earth is only 6,000 years old, you are denying, if you will, everything that you can touch and see. Youre not paying attention to whats happening in the universe around you.

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.

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.

The most serious problem facing humankind is climate change.
Bill Nye
Image
Our goal in science is to discover universal laws of nature. If one's faith requires one to abandon or ignore natural laws, well, that person is going to have trouble reconciling religion and science. Otherwise, there is no any conflict.
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
Climate change is happening, humans are causing it, and I think this is perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us.
Bill Nye
Image
The US Navy has several people on every ship that can navigate by the stars. They don't fool with that.
Bill Nye
Image
Tax dollars intended for science education must not be used to teach creationism as any sort of real explanation of nature, because any observation or process of inference about our origin and the nature of the universe disproves creationism in every respect.

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

The Big Bang banged, and for some reason we’re here. And that’s astonishing. And that we can understand that, that’s the most astonishing.

Science provides a much more satisfactory way to seek answers than does any religion.

If you want grown-ups to recycle, just tell their kids the importance of recycling, and they'll be all over it.

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

Anybody who grew up with the space program is a fan of science fiction.
