“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 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 -
“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.”

“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.”

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.”
