Quote

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.

Evolution is not something you can believe in or not believe in like do you believe in gravity.
Bill Nye

A two-and-a-half-year-old is pretty experienced at making a mess, anyway.
Bill Nye
Image
Recommending or insisting on abstinence has been completely ineffective.
Bill Nye
Image
I understand that you take the Bible, as written in English, translated many many times over the last three millennia as to be a more accurate, more reasonable assessment of the natural laws we see around us than what I and everybody in here can observe. That, to me, is unsettling.
Bill Nye
Image
I stand by my assertions that although you can know what happens to any individual species that you modify, you cannot be certain what will happen to the ecosystem. Also, we have a strange situation where we have malnourished fat people. It's not that we need more food. It's that we need to manage our food system better.

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.

There are just two people entitled to refer to themselves as we one is the editor and the other is the fellow with a tapeworm.

That's what makes a human a human, if we store information outside our bodies.

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.

If you memorize the periodic table it will speed you up if you're a chemist, but by and large, the reason you have a periodic table is so that you can store that information outside of your body. That way it frees up some part of your brain to do something else...

The strange thing about grinding that might surprise many people is that you can grind things and shape them using materials that are generally somewhat softer than the thing you're grinding and shaping.
Bill Nye
Image
What happens to other species also happens to us.
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
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.

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

One of the drawbacks of English is you can't spell things by hearing them.
Bill Nye

Climate change is happening, humans are causing it, and I think this is perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us.
Bill Nye

I don't perceive an anti-religious agenda, especially with regard to Christians and Christianity.
Bill Nye
Image
Science is the best idea humans have ever had. The more people who embrace that idea, the better.
Bill Nye

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.
