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.

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

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 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

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.

People and stars are made of the same stuff.

I meet so many people who are intimidated by arithmetic.

If the Earth gets hit by an asteroid, it's game over. It's control-alt-delete for civilization.

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
Image
The meaning of life is pretty clear: Living things strive to pass their genes into the future. The claim that we would not have morals or ethics without religion is extraordinary. Animals in nature seem to behave in moral ways without organized religion.
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
Image
Humor is everywhere in that there's irony in just about anything a human does.
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.

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

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

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

By the way, most of the light that comes from the sun is green.

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.

The more you find out about the world, the more opportunities there are to laugh at it.

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.

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.
