BILL NYEI 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 NYEPeople get a lot out of being religious. They have strong senses of community and mutual support. So, what’s not to love [there]?
BILL NYEOur 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 NYEThere’s nothing I believe in more strongly than getting young people interested in science and engineering, for a better tomorrow, for all humankind.
BILL NYEThe 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 NYEYou start doing the addictive behavior to feel good and then your receptors get overloaded with dopamine, then you stop doing the addictive thing and some of the receptors have shut down and you don’t have enough dopamine to feel good.
BILL NYEIn another couple centuries I’m sure that worldview won’t even exist. There’s no evidence for it.
BILL NYEThe most serious problem facing humankind is climate change. All of these people breathing and burning our atmosphere has led to an extraordinarily dangerous situation.
BILL NYETax 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.
BILL NYEI meet so many people who are intimidated by arithmetic.
BILL NYEEvolution is a theory, and it’s a theory that you can test. We’ve tested evolution in many ways. You can’t present good evidence that says evolution is not a fact.
BILL NYEThis is in stark contrast to creationism, which offers a static view of the world, one that cannot be challenged or tested with reason. And because it cannot make predictions, it cannot lead to new discoveries, new medicines, or new ways to feed all of us.
BILL NYEWhen 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.
BILL NYEIf the Earth gets hit by an asteroid, it’s game over. It’s control-alt-delete for civilization.
BILL NYEScience is the best thing humans beings have ever come up with. And if it isn’t, science will fix it.
