Bill Nye Quotes and Sayings - Page 1
More Bill Nye quote about:
-
“Science is the best idea humans have ever had. The more people who embrace that idea, the better.”
-- Bill Nye -

-- Bill Nye -
“Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't.”
-- Bill Nye -
“The meaning of life is pretty clear: Living things strive to pass their genes into the future. The claim that we would not have morals or ethics without religion is extraordinary. Animals in nature seem to behave in moral ways without organized religion.”
-- Bill Nye -
“The more you find out about the world, the more opportunities there are to laugh at it.”
-- Bill Nye -
“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 -
“Bicycling is a big part of the future. It has to be. There's something wrong with a society that drives a car to work out in a gym.”
-- Bill Nye -
“Evolution is not something you can believe in or not believe in like do you believe in gravity.”
-- Bill Nye -
“There really is no such thing as race. We all came from Africa. We are all of the same stardust. We are all going to live and die on the same planet, a Pale Blue Dot in the vastness of space. We have to work together.”
-- Bill Nye -
“Science provides a much more satisfactory way to seek answers than does any religion.”
-- Bill Nye -
“We are just a speck, on a speck, orbiting a speck, in the corner of a speck, in the middle of nowhere.”
-- 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 -
“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 -
“People get a lot out of being religious. They have strong senses of community and mutual support. So, what's not to love [there]?”
-- Bill Nye -
“I just want to remind us all there are billions of people in the world who are deeply religious, who get enriched by the wonderful sense of community by their religion. But these same people do not embrace the extraordinary view that the Earth is somehow only 6,000 years old.”
-- 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.”
-- Bill Nye -
“There's nothing I believe in more strongly than getting young people interested in science and engineering, for a better tomorrow, for all humankind.”
-- Bill Nye -
“Evolution is the fundamental idea in all of life science, in all of biology. The key to our being here now is time, 4.54 billion (Earth) years of time. Nuclear fission wasn't discovered until long after Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace published their original books and papers, for example. Our ability to measure atomic masses wasn't developed until long after their deaths. These features of nature enabled us to reckon the age of the Earth and compare it with speciation rates here.”
-- Bill Nye -
“To leave the world better than you found it, sometimes you have to pick up other people's trash.”
-- Bill Nye -
“I don't perceive an anti-religious agenda, especially with regard to Christians and Christianity. The issue being debated was creationism, the idea that the Earth is 6,000 years old. As I understand it, this involves the Bible's Old Testament exclusively.”
-- Bill Nye -
“The information you get from social media is not a substitute for academic discipline at all.”
-- 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 -
“Science is the key to our future, and if you don’t believe in science, then you’re holding everybody back. And it’s fine if you as an adult want to run around pretending or claiming that you don’t believe in evolution, but if we educate a generation of people who don’t believe in science, that’s a recipe for disaster. We talk about the Internet. That comes from science. Weather forecasting. That comes from science. The main idea in all of biology is evolution. To not teach it to our young people is wrong.”
-- Bill Nye -
“Religion is a completely different thing from the claim that the Earth is six thousand years old. That's just crazy.”
-- Bill Nye -
“Winter lingered so long in the lap of Spring that it occasioned a great deal of talk.”
-- 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. We need scientifically literate voters and taxpayers for the future. We need engineers that can build stuff and solve problems.”
-- Bill Nye -
“Without an end to the burning of fossil fuels, coal especially, most of us will live shorter lives. I'm hopeful, but very, very concerned.”
-- Bill Nye -
“If you look back on all the teachers that you liked, I am sure you will find they were very entertaining.”
-- Bill Nye -
“I speak with dogs frequently. They don't really talk, but I feel they're communicating.”
-- Bill Nye -
“Humor is everywhere in that there's irony in just about anything a human does.”
-- Bill Nye
