I understand that you take the Bible, as written in English, translated many many times over the last three millennia as to be a more accurate, more reasonable assessment of the natural laws we see around us than what I and everybody in here can observe. That, to me, is unsettling.
BILL NYE -

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 -

BILL NYE -

BILL NYE -
I hope next generation will emerge and produce technology, regulations, and a worldview that enable as many of us as possible to live happy healthy lives.
BILL NYE -
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 -
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 -
The more you find out about the world, the more opportunities there are to laugh at it.
BILL NYE -
