Quote

Promoting a religious agenda that is to apply to every citizen is inconsistent with our laws in the US. It seems to me that your community and mine can live and work together without conflict.

Evolution is one of the most powerful and important ideas ever developed in the history of science. Every question it raises leads to new answers, new discoveries, and new smarter questions. The science of evolution is as expansive as nature itself. It is also the most meaningful creation story that humans have ever found.
Bill Nye

That's what makes a human a human, if we store information outside our bodies.
Bill Nye
Image
Hard to find anything lovelier than a tree. They grow at right angles to a tangent of the nominal sphere of the Earth.
Bill Nye

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.

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.
Bill Nye

Unlike science, creationism cannot predict anything, and it cannot provide satisfactory answers about the past.
Bill Nye

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

I don't perceive an anti-religious agenda, especially with regard to Christians and Christianity. The issue being debated was creationism, the idea that the Earth is 6,000 years old. As I understand it, this involves the Bible's Old Testament exclusively.

People and stars are made of the same stuff.

Climate change is happening, humans are causing it, and I think this is perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us.
Bill Nye
Image
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.
Bill Nye
Image
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
Image
What happens to other species also happens to us.
Bill Nye
Image
Science provides a much more satisfactory way to seek answers than does any religion.
Bill Nye

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.

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...

When we explore the cosmos, we come to believe and prove that we can solve problems that have never been solved. It brings out the best in us. Space exploration imbues everyone with an optimistic view of the future.

I meet so many people who are intimidated by arithmetic.

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

I say to the grownups, if you want to deny evolution and live in your world, that's completely inconsistent with the world we observe, that's fine. But don't make your kids do it. Because we need them. We need scientifically literate voters and taxpayers for the future. We need engineers that can build stuff and solve problems.
