The information you get from social media is not a substitute for academic discipline at all.
Bill Nye

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

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

People and stars are made of the same stuff.

I meet so many people who are intimidated by arithmetic.

The natural world is a package deal you don't get to select which facts you like and which you don't.
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
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.

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.

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

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

The US Navy has several people on every ship that can navigate by the stars. They don't fool with that.
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
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.

A two-and-a-half-year-old is pretty experienced at making a mess, anyway.

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.

I'll admit that the discovery of evolution is humbling, but it is also empowering. It transforms our relationship to the life around us. Instead of being outsiders watching the natural world go by, we are insiders. We are part of the process we are the exquisite result of billions of years of natural research and development.

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.

If you look back on all the teachers that you liked, I am sure you will find they were very entertaining.
