There is no debate in the scientific community...We need [Congress] to change things, not to deny what's happening.
Bill Nye
Image
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.

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...

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

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

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.

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

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

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

If you want grown-ups to recycle, just tell their kids the importance of recycling, and they'll be all over it.

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.

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

Everyone, red state, blue state, everyone supports space exploration.
