I want mechanical engineers to make better transportation systems. I want chemical engineers to develop better solar panels, and so on.

The thing about a theory in science is it allows you make predictions. Evolutionary theory allows us to predict what apples will taste good next harvest.
BILL NYE

Apples Next Taste
I’ll admit that the discovery of evolution is humbling, but it is also empowering. It transforms our relationship to the life around us. Instead of being outsiders watching the natural world go by, we are insiders.

If you want grown-ups to recycle, just tell their kids the importance of recycling, and they’ll be all over it.
BILL NYE

Kids Recycling Want
Educated women have fewer kids. And the kids they do have are better cared for and are more successful. As I like to say, it’s not one thing that we need to focus on. It’s everything all at once.

How did we let an ideological resistance to inquiry become such a prominent part of our society?

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.

Winter lingered so long in the lap of Spring that it occasioned a great deal of talk.

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

Along 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.

The most serious problem facing humankind is climate change.

The 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.

Nuclear fission wasn’t discovered until long after Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace published their original books and papers, for example.
