We are part of the process; we are the exquisite result of billions of years of natural research and development.

BILL NYEAlso, 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 NYEIf you want grown-ups to recycle, just tell their kids the importance of recycling, and they’ll be all over it.
BILL NYEThere are just two people entitled to refer to themselves as “we”; one is the editor and the other is the fellow with a tapeworm.
BILL NYEIn another couple centuries I’m sure that worldview won’t even exist. There’s no evidence for it.
BILL NYEI 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 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 NYEI am so old, I entered engineering school with a slide rule. And I left engineering school with a calculator. I can still use a slide rule but it’s not a skill you especially need anymore.
BILL NYEUnlike science, creationism cannot predict anything, and it cannot provide satisfactory answers about the past.
BILL NYEAlong with the evidence of common sense, researchers have proven scientifically that humans are all one people. We’re a lot like dogs in that regard. If a Great Dane interacts (can we say interact?) with a Chihuahua, you get a dog.
BILL NYEI meet so many people who are intimidated by arithmetic.
BILL NYEFor me, the meaning of life is pretty clear: Living things strive to pass their genes into the future.
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 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.
BILL NYEEveryone you will ever meet knows something you don’t.
BILL NYEWe are special in the sense that we can know our place in the cosmos. We can know our place in space. We are at least one of the cosmos’s ways of knowing itself. That fills me with reverence and joy.
