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'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

Hard to find anything lovelier than a tree. They grow at right angles to a tangent of the nominal sphere of the Earth.

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

I always say when you see that old black-and-white footage of the rocket on the launch pad and it falls over and explodes, that's because people had slide rules. Not having the decimal point is a real drawback. You want the decimal point, take it from me.

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.

Tax dollars intended for science education must not be used to teach creationism as any sort of real explanation of nature, because any observation or process of inference about our origin and the nature of the universe disproves creationism in every respect.

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.
Bill Nye
Image
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.
Bill Nye

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

Teaching creationism in science class as an alternative to evolution is inappropriate.
Bill Nye
Image
Science provides a much more satisfactory way to seek answers than does any religion.

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

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.
Bill Nye
Image
Religion is a completely different thing from the claim that the Earth is six thousand years old. That's just crazy.
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

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.
Bill Nye

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

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