Religion is a completely different thing from the claim that the Earth is six thousand years old. That’s just crazy.
BILL NYE -
When we see the shadow on our images, are we seeing the time 11 minutes ago on Mars? Or are we seeing the time on Mars as observed from Earth now? It’s like time travel problems in science fiction. When is now; when was then?
BILL NYE -
I want mechanical engineers to make better transportation systems. I want chemical engineers to develop better solar panels, and so on.

BILL NYE -
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.
BILL NYE -
Talk about science with everyone you meet. Especially talk about climate change. It needs to become a part of our everyday conversation (the way it is everywhere else in the world).
BILL NYE -
The philosophy of science is inherent in the process. This is to say, you think critically, you draw a conclusion based on evidence, but we all pursue discovery based on our observations. That’s where science starts.
BILL NYE -
Climate change is happening, humans are causing it, and I think this is perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us.
BILL NYE -
If you just take a single human and put him or her in the forest he or she might not do very well without some sort of education which he got or she got from some tribe.
