Teaching creationism in science class as an alternative to evolution is inappropriate.
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 -
I 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.

I say to the grown-ups, ‘If you want to deny evolution and live in your world that’s completely inconsistent with everything we’ve observed in the universe that’s fine. But don’t make your kids do it.’
BILL NYE -
Hard to find anything lovelier than a tree. They grow at right angles to a tangent of the nominal sphere of the Earth.
BILL NYE -
Our 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 NYE -
Think how fortunate we are to know this much. But think also of all that’s yet to be discovered. Here’s hoping the deep answers to the deep questions-from the nature of consciousness to the origin of life-will be found in not too much more time.
BILL NYE -

BILL NYE -
The US Navy has several people on every ship that can navigate by the stars. They don’t fool with that.
BILL NYE -
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.
BILL NYE -
If you want grown-ups to recycle, just tell their kids the importance of recycling, and they’ll be all over it.
BILL NYE -
The 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 NYE -
From an evolutionary standpoint you can’t just wipe everything out and start over, and I don’t think you can do it in the school system either.
BILL NYE -
SCIENCE is a part of EVERYONE’S everyday life.
BILL NYE -
In another couple centuries I’m sure that worldview won’t even exist. There’s no evidence for it.
