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.

More quotes by Bill Nye
The most serious problem facing humankind is climate change.
Bill Nye
By the way, most of the light that comes from the sun is green.
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
Unlike science, creationism cannot predict anything, and it cannot provide satisfactory answers about the past.
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
Our goal in science is to discover universal laws of nature. If one's faith requires one to abandon or ignore natural laws, well, that person is going to have trouble reconciling religion and science. Otherwise, there is no any conflict.
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
Incidentally, the creationists that I've encountered diligently deny that our Earth's climate is being altered by people. This point of view and teaching is in absolutely no one's best interest. Here's hoping we can work together and preserve the Earth, for us - us humans.
Bill Nye
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.
Bill Nye
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...
Bill Nye
Teaching creationism in science class as an alternative to evolution is inappropriate.
Bill Nye
The Earth is not 6,000 or 10,000 years old. It's not. And if that conflicts with your beliefs, I strongly feel you should question your beliefs.
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.
Bill Nye
The theory of evolution was not formally published until shortly before Faraday's death. Evolution was yet to be discovered during Faraday's life. Also, I don't think that Michael Faraday would claim that the Earth is extraordinarily young.
Bill Nye
I meet so many people who are intimidated by arithmetic.
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
That's what makes a human a human, if we store information outside our bodies.
Bill Nye
I tell personal stories associated with aspects of the theory, and I hope they are interesting and compelling. I don't feel you're going to change a grownup's mind in one reading. People have to be exposed to scientific ideas over and over again for years. It's also not a textbook.
Bill Nye
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
It is my mission to change the world. I'm not kidding: Make no small plans, dream mighty things. I feel if we get enough people engaged in climate change, we will get enough people to change the world. We will revolutionize the way we produce electricity and provide clean water to people.
Bill Nye
