The natural world is a package deal; you don’t get to select which facts you like and which you don’t.
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 -
No matter what you may believe spiritually or otherwise, the Earth is clearly not 6,000 or 10,000 years old.
BILL NYE -
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.
BILL NYE -
That’s what makes a human a human, if we store information outside our bodies.
BILL NYE -
I 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 NYE -
It 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 NYE -
I 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 NYE -
We are part of the process; we are the exquisite result of billions of years of natural research and development.
BILL NYE -

BILL NYE -
Humor is everywhere in that there’s irony in just about anything a human does.
BILL NYE -
I understand that you take the Bible, as written in English, translated many many times over the last three millennia as to be a more accurate, more reasonable assessment of the natural laws we see around us than what I and everybody in here can observe. That, to me, is unsettling.
BILL NYE -
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.
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 -
Climate change is happening, humans are causing it, and I think this is perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us.
