Quote

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 US Navy has several people on every ship that can navigate by the stars. They don't fool with that.
Bill Nye

I always say when you see that old black-and-white footage of the rocket on the launch pad and it falls over and explodes, that's because people had slide rules. Not having the decimal point is a real drawback. You want the decimal point, take it from me.

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.

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

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

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

Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't.

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.

A two-and-a-half-year-old is pretty experienced at making a mess, anyway.

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

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
I hope climate science becomes the big thing. And then what I want is electrical engineers to solve the world's energy problems, energy distribution problems. I want mechanical engineers to make better transportation systems. I want chemical engineers to develop better solar panels, and so on.

Teaching creationism in science class as an alternative to evolution is inappropriate.
Bill Nye

Everyone, red state, blue state, everyone supports space exploration.

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

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.
Bill Nye

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.

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