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.

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.

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

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

Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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 thing about a theory in science is it allows you make predictions. Evolutionary theory allows us to predict what apples will taste good next harvest.

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