If the Earth gets hit by an asteroid, it’s game over. It’s control-alt-delete for civilization.
BILL NYEIf the Earth gets hit by an asteroid, it’s game over. It’s control-alt-delete for civilization.
BILL NYEI feel that I’ve often pointed out that there are countless aspects of life and nature that scientists and scientific thinkers cannot explain.
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 NYERecommending or insisting on abstinence has been completely ineffective.
BILL NYEIt fills me with joy to know that we can pursue these answers. It is an astonishing thing that we are — you and I are one of the ways the universe knows itself.
BILL NYEI used to play ultimate Frisbee, and I just got a reputation for making popcorn at parties. I don’t mean to brag on myself, but I make the popcorn in the pot, and it comes out fine every time.
BILL NYEIf you look back on all the teachers that you liked, I am sure you will find they were very entertaining.
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 NYEIf you want grown-ups to recycle, just tell their kids the importance of recycling, and they’ll be all over it.
BILL NYEI 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.
BILL NYEThe debate [in Undeniable] was nominally about creationism as a “viable” explanation for what we observe around us. For my side, the debate went very well; I’m not sure what I would change, although I can imagine shortening my answers during the rebuttals, perhaps.
BILL NYEThere really is no such thing as race. We all came from Africa. We are all of the same stardust. We are all going to live and die on the same planet, a Pale Blue Dot in the vastness of space. We have to work together.
BILL NYEClimate change is happening, humans are causing it, and I think this is perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us.
BILL NYEThe Big Bang banged, and for some reason we’re here. And that’s astonishing. And that we can understand that, that’s the most astonishing.
BILL NYEThe oncoming trouble I speak of is climate change. It’s going to affect all of you in the same way the Second World War consumed people of my parent’s generation.
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.
