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.

More quotes by Bill Nye
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
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
The most serious problem facing humankind is climate change.
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
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
If you look back on all the teachers that you liked, I am sure you will find they were very entertaining.
Bill Nye
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
The US Navy has several people on every ship that can navigate by the stars. They don't fool with that.
Bill Nye
Science is the key to our future, and if you don't believe in science, then you're holding everybody back.
Bill Nye
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
If you decide to become a dancer on Broadway, never say who your favorite dance partner is, because members of the media will presume you never want to dance with anybody else.
Bill Nye
Not wasting any water bottles is good. Not leaving the lights on is good. Turning the thermostat down in the winter, up in the summer, is good. But the best thing any of us in the developed world, especially in the United States, can be doing is talking about it.
Bill Nye
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.
Bill Nye
When we explore the cosmos, we come to believe and prove that we can solve problems that have never been solved. It brings out the best in us. Space exploration imbues everyone with an optimistic view of the future.
Bill Nye
People get a lot out of being religious. They have strong senses of community and mutual support. So, what's not to love [there]?
Bill Nye
There is no debate in the scientific community...We need [Congress] to change things, not to deny what's happening.
Bill Nye
NASA is an engine of innovation and inspiration as well as the world's premier space exploration agency, and we are well served by politicians working to keep it that way, instead of turning it into a mere jobs program, or worse, cutting its budget.
Bill Nye
I've always loved airplanes and flight. The space program was really important to me as a kid. I still have a photo of Armstrong and Aldrin on the moon in my living room.
Bill Nye
It is my mission to change the world. I'm not kidding: Make no small plans, dream mighty things. I feel if we get enough people engaged in climate change, we will get enough people to change the world. We will revolutionize the way we produce electricity and provide clean water to people.
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.
