Science is the best idea humans have ever had. The more people who embrace that idea, the better.

The most serious problem facing humankind is climate change.
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.
Bill Nye
Image
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

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

If you meet somebody who says he or she has never dreamed of flying, I don't believe you. I mean, they're lying.
Bill Nye

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.

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

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

If you want grown-ups to recycle, just tell their kids the importance of recycling, and they'll be all over it.
Bill Nye
Image
The more you find out about the world, the more opportunities there are to laugh at it.
Bill Nye
Image
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

Science is the best thing humans beings have ever come up with. And if it isn't, science will fix it.

People and stars are made of the same stuff.
