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.

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

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
When or if answers are found, you can be assured those answers will lead to more questions. Is the troubling or wonderful? It depends on your view of your place in nature, your place among the stars I suppose.
Bill Nye
Image
The world's going to change climatically. We just want to control the change. We want to have a high quality of life for billions of people as we pass through this era.
Bill Nye
Image
If the Earth gets hit by an asteroid, it's game over. It's control-alt-delete for civilization.
Bill Nye
Image
Recommending or insisting on abstinence has been completely ineffective.
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.
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
Image
To leave the world better than you found it, sometimes you have to pick up other people's trash.
Bill Nye
Image
History is but the record of the public and official acts of human beings. It is our object, therefore, to humanize our history and deal with people past and present people who ate and possibly drank people who were born, flourished and died not grave tragedians, posing perpetually for their photographs.
Bill Nye
Image
The information you get from social media is not a substitute for academic discipline at all.
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
Science is the best thing humans beings have ever come up with. And if it isn't, science will fix it.
Bill Nye
Image
Without an end to the burning of fossil fuels, coal especially, most of us will live shorter lives. I'm hopeful, but very, very concerned.
Bill Nye

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.
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
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.
