To leave the world better than you found it, sometimes you have to pick up other people's trash.

Science is the key to our future, and if you don't believe in science, then you're holding everybody back.
Bill Nye
Image
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
Image
I feel that I've often pointed out that there are countless aspects of life and nature that scientists and scientific thinkers cannot explain. Why the universe is accelerating in its expansion and what came before the Big Bang serve as compelling examples. The process of science provides a way to seek answers to those questions.

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

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
There is no debate in the scientific community...We need [Congress] to change things, not to deny what's happening.
Bill Nye
Image
When we sit down to draw or paint the sun's rays, we generally use yellow because in the morning and the evening with the blue light scattered away so strongly you're left with a little bit of red and it comes out yellowish.
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
I try to speak plainly and be sympathetic to the idea of religions where people gather in community. They get a sense of people looking out for each other. My claim is that we have a tendency to look out for each other whether or not there is a religion involved.
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
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
If you look back on all the teachers that you liked, I am sure you will find they were very entertaining.
Bill Nye
Image
Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't.
Bill Nye
Image
Promoting a religious agenda that is to apply to every citizen is inconsistent with our laws in the US. It seems to me that your community and mine can live and work together without conflict.
Bill Nye
Image
I speak with dogs frequently. They don't really talk, but I feel they're communicating.
Bill Nye

People and stars are made of the same stuff.
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
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.
