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.

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.
Bill Nye
Image
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.
Bill Nye
Image
Science provides a much more satisfactory way to seek answers than does any religion.
Bill Nye
Image
Intuitively you want some place [such as your phone] to store phone numbers, so you have that part of your brain to do other tasks.
Bill Nye
Image
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).
Bill Nye
Image
The natural world is a package deal you don't get to select which facts you like and which you don't.
Bill Nye
Image
Anybody who grew up with the space program is a fan of science fiction.
Bill Nye

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

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.
Bill Nye
Image
Hard to find anything lovelier than a tree. They grow at right angles to a tangent of the nominal sphere of the Earth.
Bill Nye
Image
That's what makes a human a human, if we store information outside our bodies.
Bill Nye
Image
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
Image
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.
Bill Nye
Image
I understand that you take the Bible, as written in English, translated many many times over the last three millennia as to be a more accurate, more reasonable assessment of the natural laws we see around us than what I and everybody in here can observe. That, to me, is unsettling.
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
Image
I don't perceive an anti-religious agenda, especially with regard to Christians and Christianity.
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.

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 meet so many people who are intimidated by arithmetic.

Science is the best thing humans beings have ever come up with. And if it isn't, science will fix it.
